   I am not going to respond to JR's personal remarks. They do not help the   
   discussion and they do not address the technical point I am raising.   
      
   Simply allow me to set the record straight for Jolly Roger to remember,   
   because his version of events leaves out the most important part.   
      
   I did not reject the SMB claim because of Android. I rejected it because   
   you have a long history of making technical claims about iOS that cannot be   
   verified, and then attacking anyone who asks for evidence. After years of   
   that pattern, I simply could not rely on your statements without   
   independent confirmation.   
      
   The only reason I took the SMB claim seriously was because Tyrone   
   demonstrated actual knowledge of Windows 11 networking.   
      
   Once he showed that, only then I treated his claim as worth testing.   
      
   I then verified it myself on Windows 10 specifically to rule out any   
   port-mapping artifacts. When the results matched what he described, I   
   acknowledged it and thanked him.   
      
           That is not weakness.   
      
   That is how someone trained in engineering and sciences behaves.   
       When evidence appears, you update your conclusions.   
      
   What I will not do is accept unverified assertions from people who have   
   repeatedly made inaccurate claims about iOS in the past. My approach has   
   been consistent the entire time as I trust reproducible results, not   
   declarations.   
      
   You did not provide reproducible results. Tyrone did.   
   That is why I accepted his information and not yours.   
      
   I hope you understand.
