Mostly, because it has nothing to do with the thing in question and whether it actually occurred.

Really? Because it sounds like you're getting into the semantics of 'what's a dragon?' when you know we're talking about giant serpentine creatures that fly and 'what about parrots?' when you know we're talking about rabbits and donkeys carrying on cogent conversations or delivering divine messages. Or at least that's what you know if you're not profoundly ignorant of how human communication in English works. But I don't think you're that ignorant.

Frankly, your reply just sounds like more mealy-mouthed weaseling to justify the previous mealy-mouthed weaseling.

Ok... I think you just want to call people names, too avoid honest discussion.   I suppose time will bare out which is correct.
