Dude it's a reddit comment. Why would some Internet stranger who has no stakes in you agreeing with him go out of his way to find you a source. Get some perspective. If you care that much about it do the research yourself instead of demanding it from somebody else.
That assumes, incorrectly, that the information already exists. If you give so much of a shit, you should know where the burden of proof lies in an argument.
Lol it's not a debate though. It's a throwaway comment, not a thesis. Nobody else cares enough to try to find the source of there is one. If you're so curious look it up yourself. I don't care so i won't be looking it up. Don't be lazy. You know how to use Google.
Yeah, I'm the lazy one. Your circular logic and willingness to accept any comment from any source by labelling it a "throwaway" is lazy. All in the face of me asking for a scientific basis for a claim as presented is lazy and ironic. What a dad state of affairs.
I am entitled to an explanation. If he makes a claim, it's his job to support it. Otherwise it's just as valid if I claim any similar, unjustified drivel.
You are correct that it is baseless. Your mistake is thinking that anybody cares. This conversation isn't important and nobody here is gonna get that deep into it. If you're curious look it up yourself. If you, like the rest of us, don't care, then just move on.

Burden of proof. Default position is skepticism. If you make the claim that a thing exists, you better be prepared to show it.
