This is a classic ad hominem argument.

There was a claim made, someone asked for evidence, and then a third person provided the evidence. Done. This is a good way for discussions to work. What would really kill the discussion is if people stopped and gathered evidence first, and compiled it into every comment they made. I trust people are skeptical enough not to believe garbage, and if they’re curious they can ask questions or do additional research themselves.
