........but that's just sensible guess work...

Really? I do not consider it more possible for runners to actually get to their recipients any easier than sounding a trumpet/horn. If it was easier, why have the signals conveyed by instruments in the first place? It may be sensible to you, but not to me.

...but many that we discuss can only be guessed at. We really should make some of those guesses as good as we can.

We are all allowed to make guesses as best as we can based on the information we have available to us. Just because you disagree with the "guesses" made by others, you should not dismiss them by assuming yours are better, which this infers.

Perhaps you should also rethink the use of the emticons in your posts; to me, at least, they add nothing constructive.
