By you? :P Given the lack of real info all the rest is in my opinion belief. Or, at most, a semi-educated guess. So whether I believe you on this topic or any other opinion, I'd be fooled no matter what. Just saying 'I don't know' seems the easy and most correct way out here, for now.

I've heard this called "epistemic learned helplessness", and I think it's a cool bit of self-awareness.
