Nobody can prove whether e4 or d4 or Nf3 for that matter is best

Objectively all the same.

There are small differences. I think that 1. d4 is stronger than 1. e4 and I've explained why I think that. It's because after 1. e4, it's natural for white to attack, whereas after 1. d4, it's more natural for white to react positionally to black's moves. For that reason, 1. e4 is logically the weakest of all white's main four first moves. That's because chess is a draw by best play and therefore white can't win just by attacking.

D4 is not best by test bro ( I think )

It gotta be E4 ( allows rapid development and agressive attacks )

Or Nf3 (Mostly Unpredictable)
