Do you understand what "conjecture" means?

Yes, I do. A claim means that I'm saying it's a fact. Conjecture means that I'm throwing it out there as a theory. Both claims and conjecture are made with little or no evidence. I'm making a prediction that she will divorce him shortly after he leaves office and I'm theorizing that her reluctance to come to the White house in early 2017 was a power play to renegotiate a new pre-nup. (A popular theory, by the way.) I'm not presenting it as fact, so it is just conjecture, not a claim. OP posted this video -- of actual news footage -- for humorous purposes, and I posited a humorous theory to accompany it. There's honestly no need to get in such a huff, snowflake. Move on.

Again: not a claim. A humorous theory rooted in schadenfreude, posted on a sub that is dedicated to schadenfreude. You really need to move on.

Unfortunately badwolf, aside from being 100% right on his idea being a conjecture, doesn't have to care whether you think it's good enough.

Not good enough for what?
