The onus/burden is actually upon you, attempting to use that statistic to bolster your argument, to show that the statistic is valid to the argument and case you're presenting. It's not on others.

This would be like someone saying that aliens exist and pointing to UFO stories as proof of it, then when people suggest the stories may not be accurate, demanding that they debunk every last UFO story ever told. The onus is on you to prove that the UFO stories are true, not on others to prove they are false.
You sound like a broken record with your 70% drop. It's easy to find the post from last year where that claim was made. Spoiler, it was found by isolating a few month period after EW launch.
