There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false. If nothing would look different, it is not a claim about the world and no amount of discussion will settle it.

No disagreement, though it depends on where somebody is starting from, and this thread has been assuming a starting point nobody stated.
