I do not think that it is stupid.

The fact that we do not know everything does not mean that we cannot have an
opinion.

By the same logic you can say that it is stupid to give the opinion that white
is losing after 1.e4 Nf6 Qh5 because you cannot prove mathematically that white
is losing the game and it may be possible that white can build some fortress
after 2...Nxh5 and save the game.

I have the opinion that chess is a draw.
I am not sure at it as much as I am sure in another opinion that black is
winning after 1.e4 Nf6 2.Qh5 Nxh5 but having that opinion based on the data that
I know is logical and not stupid.
