If you can’t trust someone’s analysis about something you know about, why trust him about something you don’t?

There are more important things than continually arguing on an internet forum, as you have been with multiple people here, that you're right when it's been pointed out numerous times that you jump off half cocked and is not the case. More generally, it is an unfortunate arogant and dangerous mindset from a sizeable part of the HN community.
