I didn't call you a liar but there is a theoretical possibility you have done what you claim.  I can't verify it and you have chosen not to provide much detail to prove it.  Which is understandable from a brevity point of view - but unlike Scott Barlow you seem to have a tough time explaining the basic mechanics so that the rest of us will get it.  This isn't just about disagreeing with a method - but rather the lack of an understandable method with demonstrated results.

Sorry the dividend story is getting on your nerves - just hard to argue with decades of proven evidence.  Perhaps refraining from jumping into every dividend story might help?  I see little point in your need to try and down play it.

I don't particularly care for technical analysis and while I will read the occasional story as it relates to companies I am interested in I choose not to waste my time chasing ideas that either don't work for me or that I disagree with.  Particularly since the method I use works.
