All the same defen admitted it was speculation and that he's not a lawyer, so, it's opinion. Perhaps his opinion is "worthless" too, but since he gave you his (lack of) credentials you can judge for yourself.
I get so tired of the "you need to quote sources" in simple commentary.
The latter part of what I quoted wasn't phrased as speculation, which was what irked me. But the fact that OP has heard this opinion expressed by lawyers certainly makes the comment more interesting.
