Whats your arguement against this?

Gandalf says that he guessed that Gollum's family was akin to the fathers of the fathers of the Stoors. This is not the same thing as saying that they were Stoors. He offers it as an informed guess, but note Frodo's heated disagreement.

As a matter of fact, I do think that Gollum was a proto-Hobbit, but much ink and more pixels have been devoted to the other side.
