There’s a good old Yorkshire expression for such speculative claims: ” ‘Appen “.
It all depends on the inflection in the pronunciation:
‘Appen – this is entirely possible; (or, the bandwagon effect).
‘Appen – Just possible, but I consider it unlikely; (or, the sceptical rival effect).
‘Appen – next it’ll be turnips on Titan… (or, the view from Barnsley top).
