If seeking only validated truth makes me arrogant, damned right. You can only know what is known, everything else is just speculation. Enjoy your day.
Seeking truth is not arrogant. Telling someone if they want to match wits you’ll turn off your brain is. Otherwise you are right that we can only know what we know and everything else is speculation. As mentioned in my earlier reply, I agree with you that blindly believing so-called news attributed only to anonymous sources is unwise. We are left to wonder if the story is a real leak or made up, and what the motivation was for leaking it if it’s a genuine leak.
