I think I am perfectly qualified to have an opinion about music that I have played

No. Well, fine, you're allowed an opinion, doesn't mean it's worth much. I've played many classical pieces, but by no means does my opinion really matter when it comes to judging classical musical. I only go based on what I like and don't like. That's fine for me, but it doesn't put me in a position to say what good or bad classical music is.

my claim is that Jazz musicians would have us believe that there are ideas of extreme complexity which they are processing at any moment when playing a tune,

I wouldn't say while playing, perhaps while writing the piece.

Jazz is just deducing the mode, picking a scale, and mimicking motifs from either the tune or from others' solos.

Makes ya wonder where the first solos came from...
