Here's the thing: even if you were right about it in the past, you were right about it based on a hunch, or wishful thinking that turned out to be true. This may happen, however it doesn't change the fact that people who were claiming otherwise hadn't had better grounds for their guesses. So yeah, congrats for guessing correctly despite there being no information about it, but if you previously claimed there was factual basis to those guesses (I don't know if you did, never seen the pots), you were still wrong, and this didn't change just because Blizzard ended up making the change.
I can only speak for myself, but IMO for a rational person what really matters is how grounded our predictions are in reality, not whether they ultimately end up being correct. There is always a chance that something surprising happens, but that's not something you can realistically account for.
I am not so sure there was a quote that there wouldn't be a stat squish and ilevel squish accompanying the level squish, but for sure there was no statement that there would be either.
A capped tank cannot have 2k hp, because then the differences between classic-tbc-wrath-cata etc. raids would be so miniscule they might as well not exist, and Blizz wants them to keep existing.
