    Maybe. But I have found fault with the pofessional mistakes he has made in public, in front of hundreds of people, or just tens, in national conferences.Or however many were on TOD and knew someone selling an amateurs perspective when it was announced.

    What is your experience with his professional mistakes and their magnitude, to believe nothing more than his AI generated argument?
