Can you provide a single logical piece of evidence why this may be so, let alone conclusive evidence why it

WTF are you on about? Really, have you been at the sauce? I have no idea what you are talking about. Is it possible to provide any evidence? Or even any explanation? Have you any idea how absurd that sounds IRL?

I don't think you words are capable of explanation! WTF are you on about?
