No, but it's a pretty good response to an unsourced declaration

he was thinking and doing is what you declare it to be.

Nothing's 100% and I can't read minds but my analysis of what went
on is pretty solidly based on how songwriters approach songs. He
put a "hook" in there that is as obvious as the nose on your
face. It got the reaction that anyone with a functioning brain
would expect and he has since publicly reacted with surprise. I
didn't think analysis needed a source.

It certainly needs _something_ more when it crosses the line between
"My analysis leads to this interesting though, alas, untestable
theory" and "Behold the TRVTH. Look upon my revelation, ye mighty,
and despair."

I'm not going to start saying imo or imho before any speculation I
make. No record reviewer, having reached the conclusion I reached,
bother to mention that it was his opinion. What ELSE would it be?
