Fried Liver is good for White.
Proof?
Statistics, engine evals and overall analysis?
Only the first applies, if you include woodpusher games.
The thing is, there aren't many master games playing the Fried Liver Attack, I wonder why...

And also Stockfish dev doesn't think highly of it:

It's not meant to be either, it just answers the actual question...
I do not think that the actual question was if you are clueless or not.
Anyway, your engine dump goes wrong on the third move, already.

I get that you don't like to answer the questions made and instead just post basic theory, in any case, how's Qe2 "wrong"?
I think that at very low level this opening is BOSS. Like a 700 rated player would almost pee their pants when playing as black. But the more higher level the more they treat this opening as trash. Finally, at GM level, this opening is a complete joke.

11.Qe2?! Kd7 is not scoring well for white (your single PV Stupidfish suggests 11.Ke7?), so all the attention is at the stronger move 11.Qd1!
I won't expect any engine telling you the difference between these two moves, but I won't bother explaining, either- you are too smart to understand.

So many claims, so little evidence. It's not the first time you impose your opinion as fact even when other masters disagree with you...

I can only see a clueless woodpusher disagreeing.
I think that instead of using Stockfish (which apparently is incredibly hard for you to use properly) learning one thing, or two about Google search would help you more. You could easily spot this one within the first 3-4 hits:

I spent about 1 hour exploring this... if I'd known it was going to be such a difficult position I would have been more organized about it... but I'm giving up now lol
I don't mind if you tell me I'm wrong, but at least I put some work into it. I used multi PV to around depth 35 on each move and explored different lines when they were still close. The number at the end is from single PV on that position to depth 39 or 40.
First of all I don't understand what's so special about 11.Qd1... but maybe it makes sense to me if we're looking at it from OTB play and not engine assisted play.

In the 11.Qe2 Ke7 line, true for a human it's a total mess, so if we're talking OTB I can see why Kd7 is preferred, but still, the raw eval is a bit better for Ke7.

So yes, the eval basically the same for the line below, and so I can see why an human might prefer Kd7

So your evidence is a 6 year old thread (I don't need to tell you that Houdini 3 is a patzer compared to modern iterations of Stockfish) with people just stating their unconfident opinions...
Jeez, no wonder that page doesn't show up when searching for info on the Fried Liver (something I have in fact done). I'm still waiting for your data on Qd1 scoring better than Qe2...

Unfortunatel;y this precondition excludes you from having them... but if you play one buck for every point of your IQ, you will get them dirt cheap.

I've gotta say, 140 bucks is anything but cheap, regardless, did you actually filter out "woodpusher"games?
The Fried Liver Attack holds the award for the coolest opening name in chess. This variation of the Two-Knights Defense involves a bold knight sacrifice which forces the black king to take a walk. This variation is also known as the Fegatello Attack, an Italian term which means "dead as a piece of meat!"
The key position in the Fried Liver Attack.
Let's take a look at what moves bring about this opening:
In Italian, fegatello doesn't mean "dead as a piece of meat". It means small liver. That's how they call a dish made of fried pork liver. It looks this way:
