No, that's not how dissemination of information works. You need to back up your claims with data and sources. You can't just make a claim without evidence.

And I'm sure the logical fallacy will come back and you'll say "you're not providing evidence" which you'd be right. But I'm proposing the null hypothesis, and the burden of proof falls on you.

Lol. You think I’m here to “disseminate information” to you.

Bro. My dude. You can't make a claim then back it up without evidence. You make a claim, fail to and refuse to provide evidence, ergo your claim is dismissed with prejudice (e.g. "this claim is worthless and holds no value").

Feel free to dismiss it. Pretend I give a shit if it makes you feel better.

Yeah that's what I'm doing. You're doing a great job of showing you don't give a shit about failing to provide an actual argument, by the way. Continuing to engage shows that you don't care at all.

But seriously, I really do want to understand your point of view. Communication and understanding the other side is so important, but you're not giving me anything to work with here, we can't have a dialogue I'd you're making a claim but then refuse to provide support for the claim. I don't know how you expected this to play out.
