If the wording was "I believe" or "I feel" it probably wouldn't be met with as much criticism because it would be evident it was an opinion rather than fact.

Yes, you are absolutely correct, as it would apply to most debatable situations on here.  This situation is a bit different, in the way that there really is very little information to cite from, leaving much to the imagination.  That is why so many could only offer their guesses, "takes" and interpretations of what the reasoning could have been.  Several members used their imaginations and stated what they imagined the reasoning could have been, but only one was met with major push back.
