qay'be'. yISIv. yIghel. 'a bImujchugh, yIqejQo'. De' lI' yIlaj. yIghoj.

Speculation is okay when it's about something we don't know. That's not the case here, and the appropriate response to finding that out ought to be a positive one, not a defensive one. Continuing to wonder about the truth of something we know to be false won't help anyone understand things better.
