What I said was no more opinion than what you said. Which is fair. Though I would point out that this is very highly backed by evidence and facts. But again, as with all things. Until such time as we get him in captivity of some sort where he can be fully evaluated. Yes. All of this is largely opinion, observation and speculation either way.
