> If you are to just claim that someone made something up, you must yourself raise the standard and provide a scientific or otherwise evidential source.

Vice in this article links to evidential sources while summarizing the findings. You should bother reading it and what it links to.

ALSO, and this is a bug fucking also, that's not how the burden of evidence for claims works! You just argued against falsifiability! OP is responsible for providing evidence for their own made up claim!
