For your argument to be believable, you shouldn't make unsubstantiated and prima facie bogus claims. Your post would've have the same message without that claim, but by putting it in it sticks out like a sore thumb and makes the rest of your argument moot for debating purposes.

That was my point, you don't have to believe me, there are a lot of public examples that are not associated with me. In fact I did not want to get into my personal accomplishments, for that very reason. For a post, it can be stated that there are large JavaScript code bases in the wild without justifying such conjecture for the sake of brevity. That is why I said it was conjecture it is an assumption of truth without providing proof, if people are interested they can do the research to make it fact, in their mind, because what they consider to be "large" will be a personal variable as well. I don't feel I made a bogus claim, I just wrote a post and not a dissertation on the subject. In doing so, I drew upon my own personal experiences to formulate my post. If people want to ignore it as bogus they can, or they can simply read my post for what it is and decide to look into it. I don't think I asked anyone to take my post as proof, rather stated my position on the subject at hand. If it appears to not be the case, then I apologize it was not my intention.
