Cutts said "theoretically," not "probably."
And, as noted earlier, the "just take my word for it" is the logical fallacy of appeal to authority.
So, while you may be correct, there remains no proof of such.

There have been several folks that are "eye witnesses" to this happening. That simply goes beyond take my word for it. People personally doing it and/or seeing it happen is not "take my word for it". You simply don't accept it as enough proof for your satisfaction.
You keep wanting to point to "logical fallacy" yet you keep being selective about using it so that it only fits your position.
I hate to keep quoting it, since you did originally post the link but here it is...

The argument from ignorance, also known as argumentum ad ignorantiam ("appeal to ignorance" [1]) or argument by lack of imagination, is a logical fallacy in which it is claimed that a premise is true only because it has not been proven false or is only false because it has not been proven true.

My bolding.
You keep doing the very same thing you are saying other people are doing.
