Thank you for actually engaging with the content.

You're welcome! Thank you for continuing to be polite.

Has this caused you to update on any of your claims to any extent?

I was already aware of how many times your articles have been shared. I would not base my judgment of a painter's skill with the brush on how many books on painting they had read.

I guess the metaphor I would take for the painter is how many of her paintings have sold. That's the appropriate metaphor for how many times the articles were shared. If the painter's goal is to sell paintings with specific content - as it is my goal to have articles shared with specific content not typically read by an ordinary person - then sharing of articles widely indicates success.
