That wasn’t their claim at all, so it seems questionable to demand they prove this.

It’s like if someone said “cheerios are good for the heart”, and you asked someone to demonstrate that nobody ever had a heart attack while eating cheerios. You’re challenging an exaggerated version of the claim that was made, not the actual claim.

That is a fair criticism.
