Go right ahead.

Every chess opening might be refuted one day.  Every refutation might have
another refutation answer discovered.  Maybe the optimal opening is 1. f4 (for
all we really know).

There is no such thing as a proof of correctness unless it leads to irrefutable
checkmate.  You won't be able to accomplish this for the Halloween attack.
Therefore, it is only one of the quintillions of possibly viable openings.
