As i stated earlier, we have the gaurdians with thier highly advanced energy powers who can scan the engine and battery, and the corps who can also scan power signatures,( check trinity if you aren't reading it, john performed and energy scan), and can calculate the amount of power released.Versus Thanos looking at a monitor telling a brief history of a being. Not readying any energy signatures, not showing how long the fight took place, nor if any galaxies were actually destroyed and if so, who destroyed what part? how long did it take to do so?
And then decide which is to be taken seriously.
Salaak was speculating, because did not ask the ring for an anaylisis of what the resulting explosion of a power battery, a warp core, and the destruction of the Anti-Monitor would cause. He got a call from John telling him the plan and while fighting SC members he told them it would destroy the milky way. No discussion with the ring, no asking of a Guardian, just Salaak stating that's what would happen.
Which is why I asked if he had witnessed this before, because that is the only way his statement is not speculation.
To dismiss Thanos' statement as speculation and then trying to pass off Salaak's speculation as fact is laughable.
To be honest you have to either take both seriously or neither. You can't have it both ways.
