I'm getting pretty confuse with these statements.

I added all the '**' to emphasize with precision what I find unacceptable.
Taking them as a whole they are simply absurd, in a very rigorous, logic
sense.

Am I wrong in this, and altogether they conform a serious and reasonable
argument?

Because as far as I used to know, once you put one foot in closed-source
clients territory you're no longer speaking about security but insecurity.
The whole discussion becomes irrelevant, you're simply **having faith**
- **in Facebook**, to make it even more intense - , which is, by definition,
the opposite of reason, science or self-verified-security.

Is that I'm completely wrong in this?

How can anyone **know** that WA's claimed E2E encryption is **the real
deal**?

Thanks a lot for any answers.
Kind regards.
