The most ignorant are the boldest conjecturers.
I think now I'm being taken a little more seriously. That's pure conjecture on my part.
You're trying too hard to find a correlation here. You don't know these people, you don't know what they intended. You try to compile statistics and correlate them to a result that amounts to nothing more than speculation.

You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.

People will speculate about what they want, but that is not my intention.
After all, once you know that part of something exists, it stands to reason that the rest of it is somewhere out there, too.
Rumour is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures And of so easy and so plain a stop That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, The still-discordant wavering multitude, Can play upon it.
Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.
The purpose of life is to conjecture and prove.
We know the effects of many things, but the cause of few; experience, therefore, is a surer guide than imagination, and inquiry than conjecture.
A hundred suspicions don't make a proof.
I have always suspected that the reading is right, which requires many words to prove it wrong; and the emendation wrong, that cannot without so much labour appear to he right.
Conjecture as to things useful, is good; but conjecture as to what it would be useless to know, is very idle.
