No, I am not, because the question is about your purported expertise, not anyone else's. You rebutted Hans' argument with a rebuttal that suggests you have inside knowledge of the U.S. intelligence community and related agencies, such that you could assure everyone his reasonable concerns were not an issue for your theory. I'm conducting a sort of voir dire to determine whether there is a basis for that rebuttal.
We've determined that you have not held a U.S. security clearance. I take that your answer also disavowed any work that would have involved customary U.S. national security methods and protocols. So now that we've eliminated any personal knowledge as a source of your insinuations to inside understanding, we have to learn where that understanding came from. Did you read books? Did you interview intelligence workers? Did you read newspapers or academic journals?
No, it is not. You challenged Hans' interpretation by suggesting you somehow had superior knowledge of the relevant facts than he. I am attempting to discover whether you do have that superior knowledge, and if so, upon what it may be based. That is utterly unrelated to whether someone else may or may not have that knowledge. Someone else didn't offer your rebuttal. You rebutted his objection from a position of supposed expertise, so therefore it is only your expertise that is in question.
