I find it unreasonable in this case as well, just like when people ask for studies during the course of a conversation. It cuts the conversation short and it brings nothing to the table, at worst people will come up with studies they haven't read and that often neither side is equipped to critically interpret and analyze (and doing so would take hours or days of work for an expert). To me it's a falsely scientific method of discourse, I'd rather have people elaborate on their personal opinion and use case than anything like this.
