I think this is the difference in our thinking.

When I don't have knowledge of something, I actually cite the best
source I have and relate that I haven't seen any information that
disputes it.

Here you have stated an argument without any evidence to substantiate
your beliefs.

Thanks for your theories...I would probably believe them if I hadn't
caught you talking about things your didn't know in the past.
