The decision to add "possibly China" despite no evidence pointing towards that was certainly intentional and in bad faith.

I think his choice to deliberately misinform is worth being called out whether or not it detracts from the rest of the analysis. It's clear that this thread wasn't written in good faith.
The rest of his analysis is uninteresting and not worthy of much criticism, he's mostly correct, but a HS student could come up with this stuff.
It's just as much "possibly India" as it's "possibly China", there's literally zero evidence (circumstantial or not) suggesting that the post originated from either.
> could be due to Chinese influence
Completely different from the suggestion that the post was literally made in China.
I'm sure absolutely nobody doubts that this post was made due to Chinese influence, it is the claim that the post physically originated from China which I find fundamentally ridiculous.
Unlike you, I don't think it's all that important a detail as its omission (mistake or not) does not detract from the analysis.
Not to get too meta, but if it was intentional, why would it necessarily be, since it's so incidental to the narrative?
