The hard dismissal with 'No' is likely why you got down voted. I am not able to do that.

With that kind of tonal promise, especially considering the source you are dismissing outright is important in their field, you have to show, not just tell.

If you just left that No out, and gave room for the chance that you are wrong, people wouldn't downvote, they'd upvote. People like to hear smart arguments. No one wants to hear outward dismissal. Especially of known experts.
