You may also be integrating something you’ve read and then forgotten you read, and this added weight to your visible-and-suspect though process in order to make a true statement. It would not surprise me to learn that at least some of your study has included examples of irregularity from MANY natural languages, including Chinese. So “I guarantee it does” may be coming from multiple places in your knowledge.
So, was it actually incorrect, or just illegibly-justified?
Hmm, good question. I guess I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that I’d read about Chinese having irregularities, though the main text I’ve read about this (The Complete Lojban Language) didn’t mention any IIRC.
