But we don't profess to be stating fact. We're stating our opinion - so, in a sense our identity is irrelevant. I certainly don't claim for a minute that what I say is fact, nor do I suggest that anyone should believe a word I say.
You, on the other hand, are claiming to be speaking "from the horse's mouth", or claiming that you know the
facts about Leon's departure.
If you are claiming to be using fact, then you have to attribute your source - and you can only do that by revealing your identity.
Otherwise, what you say is worthless, mere opinion - and, instead, we're entitled to believe Tilly.
