No, it will be proven to be fact or false by the data when it is collected
on houses sold and their purchase price.
So basically you are using as a source of proof a report that your sceptical
about.
If it does bring us back to the start then we have plenty of data on actual
prices of house that they were sold at, we haven't any sources of proof to
back your claim, which is now so vague that it is irrelevant.
