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.
