Your chortling is a lot like a man sentenced to the gallows, laughingly in denial over his fate. Nothing to be chortling about.
It’s another way of saying “the proof is in the pudding” ... :-) ...
You’ve got two opinions between us and “both” are not right at the same time. There’s ONLY ONE WAY to “prove” which outcome is the one that is actually going to happen ... and that is “by it happening.”
I’m saying that it’s “my way” (that I explain”) which is going to happen and not yours. It’s as simple as that ... :-) ...
“Chortle”... Oh, now you’re just talking jabberwocky...
