Not sure why this was flagged. Unsubstantiated with citations, and not differentiated enough, sure, but not wrong.

This is just the first google result, there are countless others. And it is quite common knowledge.

Why would everything have to be "substantiated with citations"?

It's a comment in a discussion, not a research contribution. It should be judged (not "peer reviewed" as some research claim, but judged and accepted or not as a comment in a discussion) based on whatever it has merit to the best of the participants knowledge, like any other claim.

Not based on whether it comes with a bibliography. If someone wants, they can go and verify it.
