A mercedes Benz is better than a BMW. It has not been proven but is it true? And vice versa. In other words, how can you prove it yet it is not true or prove what is not true? It is like asking what is true when the untruth is clearer than the truth.
It is true. If it were not then the world would be a stranger place than it is and it isn't, it's just exactly as strange as it is.

... does a pinhole camera reverse the image both left to right as well as upside down? And if not why?
They don't reverse left and right they just apparently do because of the way we understand the world. We imagine someone walking around to the other side of the mirror and waving their left hand when we wave our right. In fact when we wave our left hand they also wave their left hand but it has morphed to be facing the "wrong" way. Thus we see that in fact front and back is reversed and not left/right or top/bottom. It helps to realise that left/right is a bit of a cultural illusion whereas top/bottom is an empirically sound and useful fact.

Yebbut, in a pin hole camera it isn't a straight reflection front to back... the light goes through the hole and is reflected in the opposite corner so it should be upside down and left to right..... like a stack of spaghetti splayed in a jar.

Sorry I just read your other post properly!!

I always thought it did just that i.e. reverse both top/bottom and left/right.
