You just don't get it, do you? Nobody minds speculation, nobody minds gossip, nobody minds here-say (unless they sing, obviously). It's when you claim it to be fact, constantly refuse to provide your sources and then deride the people who question you as though they were idiots.
And your position that the converse position is not backed up by certainties is as ridiculous this week as it was last week. We have as much certainty as is possible in that Sky are constantly advertising that it is exclusive. We can't be absolutely certain that the Sun isn't a tennis ball can we? We haven't been there and touched it, have we? But we can be as certain as possible that it isn't, so that's the basis that we conduct discussions about it on.
A simple 'In my opinion' or 'Someone told me' or similar would allow readers of your posts to make a judgement about it. Or, if it is a certainty, provide provenance. It's not much to ask, it works beautifully on forums everywhere, even this one in most cases.
