For the last time: saying that a claim is pure fiction is not a claim, it is a dispute of a claim.

If you had said "what is the evidence, I don't believe it" that would had been fine. That wouldn't put any onus on you.
But you said it was almost certainly pure fiction, which is a statement that requires evidence.
I'm not here to go dig up details for you.
This all started with you saying that it was "almost certainly pure fiction" without providing any evidence for that claim, while at the same time criticising someone for providing no evidence for the opposite view. You still haven't given your evidence for saying it's almost certainly pure fiction.
If someone said that the idea that people have walked on the moon was "almost certainly pure fiction", and that person also complained that people saying that people have walked on the moon haven't given a shred of evidence, then it'd be reasonable to ask them what their evidence was for it being almost certainly pure fiction.
Why is it almost certainly pure fiction?
