Just listen to yourself: you admit you don't have evidence and that you haven't seen (or just don't remember having seen) any. But you cite "many" people who "consider it credible" as evidence anyway. Because you want to believe it, you're willing to cede logic and decisionmaking to the internet crowd, figure that someone must have done the homework.

And that's how we get conspiracy theories. No one did the homework. There is no completed homework. You're all just cribbing from a faked assignment.

That's not what's happening here at all. I responded to you originally to tell you what someone was referring to.

No I don't want to believe it and you need to stop. I never knew, never cared, I still don't know and still don't care. You're tilting at windmills here.
