It is pure conjecture to make any inference of principle whatsoever without actual supporting evidence. Thus "a guess".
If you want to call it a guess, go for it. You seem pretty attached to calling it that, so if thats what satisfies you, more power to you. However, I disagree completely.
Your assumption is that there is no evidence. This is not the case. It is just not evidence that you, personally, accept as evidence. Not all evidence is empirically based, or open to observation by your outward physical senses. There is intuitive evidence, for those open to see it. This knowledge isn't arrived at by the same channels, but it is still evidence, of a certain variety. This doesn't mean the interpretation of the "observed" (be it inner or outer) is always right. Any of us could be wrong about pretty much anything. Discernment is the real work.
So if I make a statement, it is, in an ideal situation, based on evidence I have found to be reasonably reliable.
So not a guess, in my humble opinion.
