If my interpretation of your complaint is correct, it's probably a good thing I didn't do that, then.

ETA: My interpretation being that you're complaining that I rejected the hypothesis as being an incorrect derivation of the logic. The theorem is a perfectly fine derivation of its assumptions; I can't find anything wrong with its logic, and have no interest in trying to. My statement was simply meant to reflect the fact that the conclusion is wrong, which follows from my rejection of the assumption that all pertinent evidence can in any case be shared.
