It’s pretty stupid to call it conclusive evidence, since evidence in science very rarely is conclusive. In medicine it’s generally statistic, and there are always a chance if you test 5 million people, that the 5 million and 1 will be different.
So it’s not about average people being unable to understand scientific terms in this case, but it’s simply not a reasonable statement by any normal use of the language. Of course there isn’t conclusive evidence, because that’s an insane bar.
