Being sceptic about something because one doesn't have enough information and
later see the proof it _is_ a new engine doesn't make you look foolish. (that's
how science works by the way) Pretending to know something for sure (like that
someone's cheating) without evidence and later be proven wrong does.

Bob won't look foolish, however the Ruffian story turns out. You on the other
hand might.
