Oh. Your model of LW readers is very different from mine—I doubt there exists anything that “the vast majority” will accept as “actual, bonafide truth”. In fact, words like actual and bonafide are likely to confuse most of us, and we’ll want clarification.
Then how can anyone prove, in the future, whether an AGI exists, or not?
I don’t think anyone can (and I don’t think they’ll have to—it’ll either be self-evident or irrelevant). But you said you didn’t want to extrapolate to that anyway.

So then what is the issue you want to discuss?
Neither of us can do more than offer our guesses and opinions on these two points.
