How to prove you don't cheat

After a quite tactical game I was accused by my opponent to cheat and to use an engine. The game is analysed by the stockfish computer of the site (see fr.lichess.org/t0zUoFvCUaRY)
and the analysis reveals that both sides made mistakes. I have been playing this line of the Palme gambit since more than 20 years, I know it by heart and during this game against smmmm I never spent more than 20 seconds on a move. How can I prove thaT I did'nt cheat. Just a question of dignity ....
If your opponent accuses you of using an engine while you don't, you don't have to worry. He might report you, but then again if you don't cheat, we won't ban you. Just ignore the accusations, or take it as a compliment. :)
Thanks!
I know for years that 7exf7+ is already nearly losing for white;
then 10.Ne2 is definitely losing. I analysed that stuff 20 years ago in my club with buddies and the recent book by Smerdon confirms our old analysis. In this variation the black moves can easily be found by a child of 60 years old as me.
Nothing about the post game analysis implies that you were cheating..

Your opponent is just mad because you wrecked him ;)
Thanks! This gambit line is indeed very difficult for W to deal with.
He played terrible. Even if you were using a program you could just use BattleChess 1988 vs this guy. Or whatever year Battlechess was made. Surprised he is over 2000. gg
I agree with TheDude, that seemed like a pretty weak game by white, made some serious mistakes and just charged in without taking into account the position and pieces he was giving up.
