I think it's okay to make logical conclusions but you must base them in evidence, not just suppositions. Intuition is a good start to begin generating hypothesis, but it doesn't render conclusions. I interpreted the GP asking for sources as "can you give me some evidence that would help me reach the same conclusions you've reached". I think that's much preferable to just accepting random things people say at face value.

Even with evidence a logical conclusion can still a supposition (aka an uncertain belief), and often is in the face of the kind of information asymmetry inherent to any outsider commenting on a private company's internal roadmap... but I digress. My point is simply that is we can skip the passive aggressiveness and just say "can you give me some more evidence that would help me reach the same conclusions you've reached". Otherwise you're not actually asking for a source, you're just saying "I disagree" in a very roundabout way.
