Since I'm cited by name, I'll clarify that what I took exception to were 
assertions of fact that I believe to be wrong and that I asked to see documented.

Unfortunately, anyone can make any claim they feel like making.  Consequently, 
responsible technical discussion means that the making of a claim does indeed 
require someone's doing the work of providing specifics.

Typically, the person making an affirmative assertion of fact carries the 
responsibility for substantiating it.
