Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

This evidence seems weak at best.

I want to be charitable, but hard to imagine this is anything other than an incredible stretching to make a topic to generate lots of clicks/views.

the following comment is besides your point. I apologize in advance for this.

In my opinion, that first statement is very bad. What classifies an either claim or evidence as extraordinary?

The claim "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." itself is extraordinary and would be in dire need of something backing it up. Not extraordinary perhaps, but still.
