Again, you make wacky claims without mentioning the devastating refutation.

Visibly deceptive and non-truth-seeking antics like this are not going to work around here. I suggest that you and woozle read up on cognitive biases and bayesian epistemology before trying to argue for this here. One handy debiasing technique:

If you do this well, and post your writeup on your personal website or the like, you might be able to get folk to take you seriously, or you might realize that the epistemic procedures you're using (selective search for confirming examples and 'allied' sources, etc) aren't very truth-tracking.
In the meantime, this stuff doesn't belong in the comments section of this post.
