Unsubstantiated but testable opinions are lies
There are of course counter-examples. "I had a dream last night about ostrich racing" (which, as it happens, is absolutely true). "I thought Black Panther was excellent" (also absolutely true). Can I prove it ? No. Does that make me a liar or a fraud ? Also no.
Of course the meme is about positions for which things can actually be measured and objectively tested. And there are things which we know which we cannot measure or objectively test, which is annoying but true anyway.
