I'm saying that I haven't seen a convincing argument one way or
another which says whether anyone descended from Banu Qurayzah is

Scott is the one who claimed to know for certain that Banu Qurayzah
was gone, but he didn't know the difference between Qurayzah and
Quraysh. I never claimed they were definitely still around. If you
think they are definitely gone then show the evidence.
