Of course we might both be wrong. We probably are. In the long run, all of us are.

It's not very helpful to point that out, especially if you can't do it with specifics so that people can correct themselves and move closer to the truth.

Pointing out that OP is using the wrong level of abstraction to explain a new phenomenon is not only useful but one of the ways in which science progresses.
