Sure, but you are at least claiming it as a fact. You are showing your understanding of the situation, explicitly along with asking Why.
Whether we agree with the facts is a separate matter, depending on verification, trust of sources and so on. It’s a separate issue.
If you don’t agree with my assertion of fact that 2021 was Hodgson’s statistically best year, that’s your business. I at least have evidence.
See above.
Having an opinion and expressing it doesn't mean you're claiming it as a fact. It might be in your world, where everything that is ever typed must be defended ad nauseum.
But to others a discussion forum is just for chewing the wind, passing and viewing opinions, knowing we are united in the Parramatta Eels - not for debating everything like your life somehow depends upon it, or getting uber-frustrated whenever you're called out on something minor.... Maybe a prescription to lighten up is in order, and leave behind all the worry claims, facts, verifications, issues, assertions, stats and evidence and other selective bullshit - or to paraphrase Han Solo, maybe laugh it up a bit more statball?
