    No, but I trust what a person says themselves more than another person making assumptions based off what they said. Concerns and guesses are not valid when the person has said No very clearly. Unless your stance is “trust no one about anything” then this seems a little extreme.

    You’re saying your guess has more validity than what they’re saying, and they have a very clear answer. So I’ll ask an equally silly question of you, do you always value your guess over what the sources say?

      What? Maybe I don’t understand your phrasing correctly. Do you mean you DO trust the official statement? No shame in that, if that’s what you want to say. Or do you want to say that you only trust the official statement if it’s the first thing you hear about something? Then it gets confusing and I don’t think you mean that.

      Concerns and guesses about a persons intentions are indeed valid. I’d rather not let people punch me to learn their intentions, I’d rather keep my distance regardless of an innocent face. Metaphorically speaking. Thanks to goodeye8 I read more about the company and their stances and now think it’s valid what they say. I will still be distrusting of companies, but maybe I’ll do more research before commenting. Maybe.

      Also, my guess always has precedence over anything other people state. I rather trust my eye rather than someone else’s. Again, metaphor. But my guess can be (…steered? Guided? Influenced?) when given more proof from different sources.
