At the risk of getting pedantic -

> trust me, bro

That's just it. I cannot trust you. It wouldn't be hard to verify your claim, and I don't suspect it of being false. BUT - you have repeatedly dismissed and disregarded data that didn't fit your narrative. I simply cannot trust when you say you have verified it.

Sorry.

Well that sucks, I thought I was being extremely transparent in my writing about this.

I've updated my post several times based on feedback here and elsewhere already, and I showed my working at every step.

Can't please everyone.

You ARE being extremely transparent. That's not what I complained about.

My complaint is that you're saying "trust me" and that isn't transparent in the least.

Am I wrong?

I said:

"I have now proven to myself that the models really can guess locations from photographs to the point where I am willing to stake my credibility on their ability to do that."

The "trust me bro" was a lighthearted joke.
