It's realistically unfalsifiable, which is pretty common for opinions like these. I certainly wouldn't call it a scientific assessment, and would quietly laugh at anyone who did. The closest we'll get to an objective confirmation/disconfirmation might be post hoc staff memoirs.

It was an intentional overclaim to make you focus on whether they are the MOST qualified or just one of the top three. That's a common Trump persuasion technique and you didn't recognize it. Sad!

This is a good example of the creative reinterpretation that makes me skeptical that you have much of significance to say.

That’s because you’re not aware it is a topic I often discuss and write about — the intentional over-claim. You watched it work on you in real time. It directed your focus where I wanted it.
