I don't know what I've said that is controversial!
Because, this "irrefutable evidence" upon which you are basing your opinion is completely refutable. You admit you have no personal experience on this matter, yet keep pointing at your friends' experiences as evidence. It is evidence, but it is anecdotal, not scientific nor statistically relevant.
