      Not now that works. They made a claim without backing. They now need to prove it.

      I don’t need to prove my claim because I have no claim. My only request was a demand for proof for the original comic.

        But it’s not. It’s a webforum. In casual conversation, you can gesture to the idea that there was more sealife before mechanization, pollution, and industrial fishing becacasue… yeah. Duh. Of course there was.
