Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You’re insisting I’m at fault because, for lack of extraordinary proof, I dare deny the extraordinary claim.

Fair disclosure: I contend that proper doctrine is explainable and sensible thru mundane interpretations.
For example: Occam’s Razor indicates that Mary was just what we would consider a “good girl”, seeking a normal and proper relationship with Joseph, and by Biblical miracle conceived before *ahem* knowing Joseph, then indeed did so after birth (as there are references to their other children); in order to achieve this thread’s claim, every single factor would have to be extraordinarily different - hence my previous comment, which Quix nicely rendered. The extraordinary claim is not essential, therefore the claim of extraordinary supporting factors is in severe doubt as the mundane explanation provides a sensible conclusion, to wit: the extraordinary claim is incorrect.
