Just like we don't have official accounts as to how many species the Draenei interacted with. You just make an assumption that it has to be a lot of them. There isn't exactly a lot to debate there, you believe one thing, I say there is too little info to make any call. Pointless to discuss with someone who already made up their mind about an unknown.
And it is a fact how? My information comes from Rise of the Horde, where it is described as Talgath coming across Draenor and only finding Draenei traces once there. Kil'Jaeden was looking for a race like the Orcs to begin with to corrupt, so with or without the Draenei being there, things would probably have developed similarly.
This is the distinction here - the Draenei didn't bring the Legion somewhere, the Legion was searching for them on whatever world they could find. It's like Jaina and Thrall going to Kalimdor in WC3 and the Scourge and Burning Legion arriving there afterwards as well. That's not them 'bringing the doom', that's just people fleeing a wave of death and destruction and it catching up to them.
I just don't get this apparent need to try and have the Draenei, victims of genocide, to be as bad as others who willingly commit genocide. Like with you constantly bringing up the orcish Horde for some reason. The Draenei have enough faults as it is and things to legitimately criticize them for, but blaming them for the actions of the Burning Legion is just kind of pointless. I'll never be convinced by that, simply because responsibility for a genocide lies with those who commit murder and slavery, not those who flee from it.
