That’s a fine conjecture but unless you are the poster its simply a guess. Nothing stopping them from clarifying it themselves in any of their posts when people ask about it…

Yes and no. As in, if this its true, then the poster is in a situation where he or she would not clarify. Because its a question. From their perspective. If the poster would know and clarify these things, then my theory would be wrong. So I cannot be right and the poster clarifying at the same time. That’s the “paradox” here you ask.

But whatever. I just tried to help understanding.

  Are you saying that the poster would not clarify that they intend the body of their post, not as an answer to their own question, but as information they want confirmed? I thought this was what you speculated was going on but I don’t understand why they wouldn’t be free to clarify that. What am I missing here?

    I think we weren’t talking about the exact same thing. It got convoluted already, so maybe we just move on. :D
