Yes there are two senses. I meant "a". If ibidem has some bayesian evidence, good for him. If it's not communicable across the internet (perhaps it's divine revelation), that's no problem, because we aren't here to convert each other.

The thing is (b) is a common definition on internet forums so it might not be clear to a newcomer what you meant.

Edit: also I suspect ibidem means "b", most people don't even realize "a" is a thing.
