In general, when one individual asserts that something seems very likely to them it isn't helpful to simply assert that the opposite seems extremely likely without giving some minimal reasoning for why you think that will be the case.

Your comment is a puzzling one. You are apparently advising me to offer more assistance. Right - but isn't that up to me? You can't possibly analyse the budgets I have to allocate for such things remotely.
Let me put it this way then: Most LW readers don't like reading unproductive conversations. And it is hard to get more unproductive than one person saying "I believe in X!" and another saying "Yeah, well I believe ~X, so there!" You are welcome to do that, but don't be surprised if the rest of us decide to vote down such comments as things we don't want.
