I maybe one who does this or may not be, but to prove I don't if I don't, would require me to prove that I have not done so for every interpretation and hadith I believe in.
That is very hard to do if it were the case.
That is one reason why none of us should rely on anyone but a leader from God to guide us.
Even if someone writes perhaps thousands of enlightening things Muslims will find enlightening, to rely on that person would be foolish, because if all we do is listen to people not chosen to guide us praise or argue against him, we may not find true arguments against some of his views and we may mix truth with falsehood.
The Quran says believers enjoin on each other the truth, so it doesn't befit them to take their chances and play probability with his religion.
I can't prove I do that myself - rather - the believer that is proven to be that and surely are his chosen ones who have proof.
Other believers are hidden and cannot prove their inward status...
As majority of people do choose their own interpretations and what hadiths to stick by their desires - you aren't blameworthy to believe I do the same.
