First off, I didn't report anything as a "fact" and the only statement I made was... "I'm not sure it is a good idea for a manufacturer to promote one handed operation of a smart phone."

I gave an opinion about future, popular perceptions based upon what is currently being reported in the news. I gave links to simple Google searches that I made to support my opinion.
As is often the case with some, if an opinion is contrary to theirs, they will find a way to change the conversation to one that they have prepared talking points for.

My opinion was not based on any belief in a Utopia or even a new world order. In fact I actually stated that.. "I don’t agree with this, but it happens".

I posted that
In both cases a possible cause stated was "operator distracted while text messaging". Although the investigations are not complete or may be found inconclusive, perhaps enough attention has been given to texting as a possible cause...
No where did I even say that I believed this was Nokia's intent. In a subsequent post I said "The fact that portrait mode would require a little effort on the users part or need a third parties involvement may, in the future prove prudent"

...again an opinion different than yours.

Lets recap shall we?

How do my above, highlighted (in bold) words add up to a statement of fact?

(A rhetorical question. Please don't answer. I concede, you win. I get the message.)

Edit: Corrected user name... sorry ysss
