The same reason that the argument is parroted by unserious people in "arguments" like the one above: some things are obvious. I don't need an RCT of dynamite to know that it is deadly.

If a thing is so obvious and relevant to your life, then there should be mountains of anecdotal and scientific evidence proving the idea. Remember, lots of ideas seemed obvious at one time or another and turned out to be disastrously wrong.
