First, I reject the premise, so the why question does not apply.
Second, this is the conclusion you draw? [1]
Third, please step back. In general, look for other explanations. [2]
[1]: Here's another explanation for you to consider: What if I am willing to acknowledge valid flaws in the report? Turns out that I am. So why haven't I? Because you haven't put forth a compelling criticism. You've consistently overreached.
[2] There seems to be a frequent pattern in your writing: overconfidence and a lack of curiosity about alternative explanations. As a counterbalance, consider posing these questions to yourself:
- Did I clearly state my point without exaggeration?
- Am I embracing uncertainty and expressing it clearly?

- Is my ego getting in the way?

- What assumptions am I making?
- Can I rephrase more statements as questions?
- What other explanations exist?
- What would have to change for my beliefs to be wrong?
