Person A: Expresses an opinion, perspective or vision based on lived experiences.
Person B: “Give me evidence! If you cannot give evidence that I can objectively assess you should not make any statements, you are anti-scientific & part of all that I see wrong”.

Olivia Guest | Ολίβια Γκεστ added,
Tim van der Zee @Research_TimThe "Dead Man Test" asserts that nothing a deceased person can do qualifies as behavior. This vital assumption remains untested. Exploratory study (n=3) finds no evidence that (presumably dead) people show any behaviors. Generalizability is questionable. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Thomas_Critchfield2/publication/312902030_The_Dead_Man_Test_A_Preliminary_Experimental_Analysis/links/5889457b92851c06a133ec2a/The-Dead-Man-Test-A-Preliminary-Experimental-Analysis.pdf … pic.twitter.com/tVSv0UHO20Show this thread1 reply 2 retweets 3 likes -

On a related and more serious note, it's my experience that many ocurances of people demanding scientific evidence where it does not hold, are not (necessarily) cases of scientism but of misunderstanding.

I know I've done that, e.g., overinterpreting what someone says to be a general claim instead of a personal observation. Straw men everywhere.

I'm confused. Do you mean the OP is a straw person argument?

No, that I (or others) think that OP makes a generalized claim instead of a personal observation.

Ah, you see yourself as B. That was what I was missing.
