    Why do you believe the former claims more than you believe the latter?

Because those people were telling me about what had happened to them
personally.  So far nobody has reported seeing that supporting Emacs
on Windows helps us; it is just speculation.

    Let those who claim the former "demonstrate" it first.

I think their testimony is sufficient proof that it happened to them.

However, I do not know how often this happens.
