    Lol yep. It cracks me up when people think just because they aren’t going to one extreme or the other with their speculation that they aren’t still engaging in wild speculation. That’s not how it works.

      They specifically said they were speculating.

        How could it ever be helpful to make up random guesses about a news article?

          This is an Internet comments section. If you’re expecting everything to be 100% productive discussion, you’re going to have a bad time.

        They actually didn’t “specifically” say that. At all. Until editing their comment an hour after being called out.

          They said “I’m going to bet”. That’s literal speculation.

            Okay so you clearly do not know what the words specific and literal mean. Got it.

      Shouldn’t you delete this post since there’s nothing to be discussed about the situation?

            Nah. This whole discussion is pointless. I don’t need to argue with you about your imagination.
