That was me, not John.

Well, that's pretty much what I said in the previous sentence in that
message, which you snipped:

  "We don't have numbers or a controlled experiment, we do have plenty
of history."

So I could provide lots of evidence from history, the Inquisition, the
Crusades, and other acts of repression
and persecution, but it's really just anecdotal. I can't prove it, but
I still believe it.
