The people making such outlandish projections really are NOT experts in
the field, they are dilletants with a political agenda who lack
important capabilities of thinking logically because of their
ideological blinders.
I don't discuss my sources of information on this list anymore because
someone here (or who reads this list online) with a socialist agenda
informed their compadres in academia, who threatened my sources with
losses of funding, degrees, and tenure if they cooperated with me.
