That's a big claim. Too big to assert without evidence. Got any?

You're making a bold claim without evidence. Do you have any reason for me to believe that?

That's quite a claim. Got any evidence for it?

You're making some big claims with no evidence. Citation needed.

That is a wild claim, got some evidence?

You make a lot of claims without providing evidence.

You can't just make that claim with absolutely no evidence to back it up.

Veelox • Dec 8, 2023 • View on HN

Your making a pretty broad claim with no evidence. Can you provide some evidence?

evgen • Jan 8, 2021 • View on HN

You have repeatedly made this claim and have yet to provide even the thinnest shred of evidence. Please supply some or stop making these unfounded assertions.

So you don't have any evidence for your outrageous claims, got it.
