It sounds like a productive argument to have, as far as I'm concerned -
since most of your premises do hinge upon these position statements that

What are your criteria for relevancy of research?

upon what data are you basing your evaluation of internet research as less

And when did 'conceptualizing' come to imply hallucination?  I think I've
missed something crucial, here ....
