I answered the post as it was written -

>From the dictionary:

gratuitous - unnecessary and unjustifiable

unjustifiable  - impossible to justify: incapable of being shown to be, or
defended as being, fair, reasonable, or correct

In other words - essentially untrue because unprovable. YMMV

But OB's statement was/is provable, therefore justifiable.

Elementary logic, my dear Weary  <VBG>
