So the claim is something like
Thank God you're not super nitpicky.
It's a fact published in dozens of websites included official websites of trash management services and companies.
This is not my area of expertise and I won't look up anything else, but do feel free to do it and inform all those websites about your findings
I'm not sure it's "nitpicky" to ask for clarification of a claim of 25 years when in reality 8 weeks is far more likely.
Is it so hard to admit that perhaps claim is misleading at best and therefore probably not "100% true" ?
Can you prove the 8 weeks in landfill claim? With a proper study, I'll take nothing less after this talk.
Don't be daft mate. You're pushing the ridiculous 25 year claim without any support. Sadly "someone with a phd told me so" is not really adequate.
Do you honestly believe that it's true or just too pigheaded to admit that this is not really a fact?
