You would write (or talk) from your own perspective, and without direct knowledge of what another person saw or experienced, but you can produce a
conditional statement, opinion or judgment. That is not difficult - for example, a jury does it when they consider evidence presented in a court case.

I disagree. For example, a jury may need to consider the mental state of a person prior to their death, so as to judge whether they were murdered or committed suicide.
You originally quoted from a conversation about demons between Hilary and Steve, and then wrote the neutral comment "Hilary made a point here."
If their conversation (as quoted) was not meaningful, it's odd that you chose to quote it and then stated that Hilary made a point.

That is correct, but essentially a truism.

If in your reality demons appear, it means there is a reason for this. |
Your earlier statement did, in fact, go further than that, since it added "it means you allow them to appear (but this doesn't imply that you are deluded)".
Your earlier statement went well beyond "they don't appear in mine", since you stated "There are no demons in my reality, and there is no chance that they ever will appear, because they are superfluous in my reality (I don't need the concept of demons, to find an explanation for my existence)."
Since your experiences are limited to your own subjective reality, how can you know that what happens in my subjective reality must (in at least one case) have a reason, and that reason is, at least in part, that I permit it?
