Exactly, they can't argue facts when you don't offer any! And its just a statement, with no emotional language attached.
Because its neutral and straight-forward it comes off as if the person making it is certain about their conclusion. People trust certainty.
Do one better if the opportunity presents itself in conversation (rather than meme-form)
Add "i'm an expert, theres no such thing as x, its just y."
If they ask "oh really?" or "you're an expert"
Just respond, with a curt, short, and dismissive "yes."
If they ask "oh yeah where are your credentials?" or "what are your credentials?"
Feign indignance, because thats what an expert would do.
"And what are your credentials?"
And just repeat if they get that far.
