That seems backwards logic to me.
With that reasoning you can say that you need to question every statement made. But that is not a useful principle.

I am pretty sure that the claim that was made was based on empirical data and if you really look for them they can most probably be found. But you just saying that every statement can be questioned really do not provide any reason to spend the time to find it. But if you have some scientific data that is not just "but I am not that way" then it might be worth to spend the time.
