You're fixing on this point out of sheer necessity so there's nothing more I can say to make us see eye to eye.
You reject the premise that RippedCal lied and fabricated this entirely, you won't even begin to entertain it even as someone who routinely makes boisterous ability claims along such lines to feel out the game. So if we can't even meet at that point there's really no point to me explaining why he may/may not have done xyz. Your speculation past the point of your assumption isn't wrong, the assumption you're grounding it in is.
