That's just a subjective determination which masks a confirmation bias. Given your own record of blatant overstatement of facts and misuse of sources, you hardly have any room to criticize others. And yet again, I see how the "acceptable" evidence has drifted even further. We now must rely solely on original language sources from eyewitnesses. This is rich, indeed.
