So, let me understand your logic. You say it is not true, so we should believe you. They announce it, but we should not believe them. You hide behind an alias. They have their photos on the internet. You are followed by? They are followed by a whole group of prestigious, well known authorities in various fields of the industry in which they are competing.
Hmmm.... yeah, that's very logical.... NOT.
In your opinion it is not true. In the opinion of a whole lot of other people it very likely is true or at least quite probably true to a greater extent rather than totally untrue.
BUT -- you'd prefer to think that everyone now knows it is not true.
