> scrolled past one unsupported set of statements, accepted them And what tells you that they were not already aware of the evidence for those statements from prior knowledge? If so, then they would naturally only ask for evidence for the claims for they are not yet aware of the evidence. No need to re-ask for that. Obviously I don't know whether they had such knowledge, but you seem to assume they didn't and are criticising them for this.
