I repeat, what did I say that was speculative?

Again, your view "things are empty of inherent existence"[as you narrowly and equivocally define "inherent existence"]" is speculative. And so is your insistence that that same speculative view is relevant to the Buddha's liberative teachings.

There is no speculation. Sure it is. Just step out in front of a bus and see for yourself.

You can try it out for yourself. Been there, done that.

Of course, that doesn't mean that you actually ever will. You can simply insist that If it's in the holy scriptures, then it must be true. Nothing superstitious about that!
Straw Man. I assert nothing of the kind.
