The first thing I don't do when defending my points is influencing my reader by using the backing of a scientific community. I argue my points and I let my interlocutor decide for himself. As such I consider that quite disingenuous, but I'll let it slide, let's get back to the topic.

 

The point I was not making was this:

A observes B does not confirm B's existence.

That is the point I was not making.

 

The point I was making was:

A does not observe B does not invalidate B's existence.

 

Do you see the difference? If you do, do you now realize that you were mistaken about my intent and for considering my argument pedantic?

So you argue based upon your own suppositions as opposed to utilizing the scientific community? Haha, that explains a lot.

Then you were aguing an untestable hypothesis. These are not valid and are completely pointless. So, you did not have a point. As I suspected.
