Sure, I agree that it's definitely reasonable to make those assumptions and that they were almost certainly involved. I'm definitely not arguing with any of that, just the presentation here. I'm not saying there wasn't evidence, I was genuinely asking because the picture was (intentionally) stripped of any possible context so that we could all feel clever and smug without having to think about anything. Thank you for giving some more history, in any case.
Yeah, no arguments there. As I said, you're absolutely right to be calling out the way this was presented.
