(6,498 posts)...I am unable to prove.
That's much different from expressing my beliefs about something. I do that all the time.
There's nothing wrong with expressing beliefs without proof. If I am not claiming to have a proof, nobody has any reason to expect a proof from me to be forthcoming.
If I express the belief that there exists a good edge coloring on the complete graph on 62 vertices using 4 colors, nobody in their right mind expects me to supply them with a proof.
Likewise, if I express the belief that there does not exists a good edge coloring on the complete graph on 62 vertices using 4 colors, nobody in their right mind expects me to supply them with a proof.
(And honestly, my beliefs have gone back and forth on this question more than once.)
It's only when I claim to have a proof one way or the other that anybody expects me to be able to back up my belief with a proof. Even then, I could be mistaken, and the proof might fall through upon writeup, of course. But my point here is that nobody would expect a proof of anything from me unless I actually claim to have a proof. That would be quite an unreasonable expectation for anybody to have.
