Correct. We’re all just speculating. What better place to do it than a discussion board?

As long as we all make it clear that we are speculating, and not speaking from knowledge.

Let's do this.

It is rare that anyone here is speaking from personal knowledge when we are talking about current events, politics, and many other things.

It's a discussion board -- there is no need for footnotes or disclaimers or citations about the basis for one's statements or opinions. I mean, come on.

So. If someone has inside information or personal knowledge, they can say so explicitly if they want. Otherwise, let's operate on the assumption that this is just a group of friends discussing things that are of interest.

Maybe this approach will cut down on pointless arguments about nonsense.

Sound good?
