Is this the comment section of a news site or are you trying to grade a university-level student essay?

  Asking someone to support very broad claims isn't “university-level” and in this case, it's something which would be world-changing if true.

    The manner in which it was asked was very poor.

      Poor, or incompatible with your personal political beliefs? The person I was responding to is a science denier who made a claim he couldn’t back up which is incompatible with most of human experience. It’s unclear why you are so committed to their defense?

        Good lord, now you're accusing me of defending the guy? Cool it.

          Okay, so what was your goal? I asked him to explain a provocative take contradicting the article. This didn’t seem especially outlandish, but you reacted as if explaining what he meant was some kind of extraordinary burden.
