   Hi Jolly Roger,   
      
   Merry Christmas!   
      
   I am not going to address the personal remarks from Jolly Roger.   
   They do not contribute to the technical discussion.   
      
   To stay focused on the actual issue, my position has been consistent.   
   I do not accept prima facie any technical claim about iOS, Android,   
   Windows, or any other platform from JR without reproducible evidence.   
      
   To weigh the credibility of the post is common standard science &   
   engineering practice we extremely-well-educated people often employ.   
      
   Regarding SMB access testing, the sequence was straightforward:   
      
   a. Multiple claims were made, but all without reproducible steps   
      and nobody showed exactly which port was being used or verified.   
   b. Later, Tyrone provided a technically coherent explanation of   
      the Windows 11 networking behavior involved, which was credible.   
   c. Based on that credibility alone, I fully and completely tested   
      the scenario myself on Windows 10 to the level that none of the   
      folks on this newsgroup perhaps save for Tyrone, could understand.   
   d. This eliminated variables such as port mapping possibilities.   
   e. My results matched what Tyrone described, so I accepted the conclusion.   
   f. Like any well-educated intelligent adult whose ego is not tied   
      in rhetoric, I openly publicly profusely thanked Tyrone & JR.   
      
   This is a fact.   
   It's not an opinion.   
      
   Jolly Roger seems to have forgotten what happened, and he seems to have   
   forgotten he lacks credibility in that Jolly Roger even today still claims   
   his iOS device saves the IPA to the device, so, with that in mind, it's no   
   wonder well-educated people don't find Jolly Rogers wild claims credible.   
      
   For example, JR still claims that a decibel and a Mbps are the same thing!   
    *It's a fact iOS devices can't even graph Wi-Fi signal strength over time*
