No, I have provided examples of differing opinions (pro's and con's) and sourced them properly (and those sources are authoritative, such as Neil Patel). Don't put words into my mouth. There are differing opinions on the effectiveness of keywords in a domain name (exact domain matching, etc.). I followed up with a TLD post that shows ranking is not about the TLD and some of that evidence comes from Google itself. I measure what works, I am indifferent in terms of the protocol.
