I don't "need" to prove anything to you. Who are you, anyway, to make such demands? Some high and mighty schoolteacher-type, is all I can see.
Hey! Here's an idea. Your demand is like what state governments call an "unfunded mandate", as from the Feds. So, you provide the funding to accomplish the "proof" you demand before feeling able to conduct your own experiments (heaven forbid you should have to bother yourself) and I'll get the team together.
Deal?
