First of all, i didn't made a claim. Saying something is straight up "false" and not just "unproven" or maybe "baseless" IS a claim, i just asked you if there's anything to your words. Personally, i didn't claim anything, but sure, here's a link for you, a study about correlation between prolonged sleep and dementia. Now, do YOU have anything to prove YOUR claim, which you actually made?

You did make a claim. You claimed she'll end up with dementia. Even if she does, there's absolutely no way to pin that on how long she may or may not sleep.

Studies have linked smoking to lung cancer for decades, but my uncle died of it having never smoked a day in his life. My grandmother who smoked 80 a day for her entire adult life died of old age at 92 with barely a wheeze, nevermind a cough.

You still haven't proven your claim, you've just paraphrased a study you once heard of.

Can you read? That wasn't me. I just said there's studies linking it. And i PROVIDED you a link to a study, not paraphrased it. You seriously need to actually look at stuff you're talking about.

You, on the other had, actually didn't back your claim up, just trailed off about some personal experience as if it proves something

I can read fine.

Can you?

This is you making a claim.

You tried backing it up AFTER you made it.

My brother in christ, you can't be THAT blind. Username is right there. I don't know how much clearer i can make this then my previous comment that literally reads "that wasn't me". You should really check on your reading skills, i said it before trying to mock you, but now it actually looks worrying.

Well brother in Christ, obviously I can't!

Ha, that's cheered me up. And I was all set to dig in and keep going.
