What you say is true, but before you play to win don't you need to know the basic rules of the game?

Why do you think it's bad for people to say the quoted statement? If you truly disbelieved in "time" the quoted statement would just be meaningless noise.
In fact what does it mean when you say "it is bad" if you 'strongly believe that "time" does not exist'. I suggest those two beliefs cannot be held simultaneously in anything approaching a consistent understanding of the world.
I think it's foolish for people not to understand the limitations of logic, mathematics and science. Disprove Solipsism. I can't, but I don't see any particular value in beating my head against that problem, when I can just reject Solipsism and go on to doing things that have more value to me. Frequently mu is the 'right' answer.*
For all the games I'm interested in playing, accepting the existence of space and time is one of the basic rules. Under those rules I can frequently produce plausible explanations for the phenomena I see, and somewhat predict the future based on my observations.
In what practical sense can you reject the existence of space and time and
do anything.
I think your statement, 'I strongly believe that "time" does not exist' is pretentious nonsense. Other statements you make are totally inconsistent with you actually holding that as a core belief.
