bizarre how?

It's bizarre because "I don't NEED anything to be true" is not some noble declaration of intellectual purity. It's a passive-aggressive way of implying that everyone who disagrees with you is emotionally dependent on the claim being true.
Nobody said you had to "need" anything. The issue is whether the situation looks suspicious, whether the branding/location/timing are politically useful, and whether there's enough evidence to draw a stronger conclusion.
So yes, "I don't know" is perfectly reasonable. But wrapping it in "because I don't NEED anything to be true" turns a basic evidentiary point into a weird little self-congratulatory morality pose. You and Bill Johnson need some self-awareness training very very badly.

You need to explain why you voted for this, cultist!
