Ah, well here is the conundrum, every time we give you hard "evidence" if
you wish to call it that, or technical explanations of why the system will
fail (i.e. from an engineering prospective not an "armchair expert" one),
you claim to have switched off.

OK, I'll grant that I can see why you think that.

But, seriously, look at it from my point of view - how do I know which is
hard evidence and which is opinion? It seems that everything which is
written is presented as hard fact and I know that not all of it is - or can
be because there's always someone else who sill state the opposite as hard
fact.

This seems to be the functional equivalent of sticking your fingers in
your ears and saying "I can't hear you" over and over...

When I do that (IRL) I'm not as precise, I simply sing, "LA LA LA".

Saying that I can't hear someone is no novelty, being on the (18 month)
waiting list to see someone about my hearing :-)
