I mentioned Speelman, because 13..Qf6 was his proposal, nothing else. You did show even one real argument to proof that the variation (by the way: which one?) could be "unsound". It's just your personal view, a very subjective view - but you spread it here, as if it were a fact. That's what I critizise. Bad style.
