Have you experience with professionals, either in law, finance, business and/or academia, who consciously make bold, unsubstantiated claims which have potential to harm their reputation?
On the contrary, from my experience, seasoned professionals & executives learn early how to express themselves in the most non-committal way. For example, if you look at my posting history, you may notice I tend to use words like: appear, suggest, may, could, perhaps, etc.
It simply defies credulity that someone who posts under his actual real name would willing self-immolate in some kind of ritualistic public spectacle. What would it gain him? Ridicule?
I advise people to generally ignore the what, but to always ask: why?”
You seem to have analysed the way of things, BEFORE the Trump paradigm shift one year ago. LS was “with it” on that, and has been “with it” since then. He is worth listening to, not trying to demean and run away from here. IMO
Well put. Thank you.
