I'm afraid in my case it was "Livestock Breeder's Quarterly." j/k!

Seriously, though...

The solution is simple...say: "I call bullsh*t on your claim.  Data,
please."  

Of course, saying something like that will depend on how much you care about
these people; smiling and nodding works, too.

Personally, there's nothing more irritating than someone who makes a claim
and then, despite having a resource like the Internet at their disposal,
fails to back it up with a single scrap of documentation.  I know it happens
all the time, but I'm still amazed.

Any ol' monkey can cut 'n paste *something* from the 'Net to back up a
claim.  I do it all the time.  There's no reason they can't, too.

While I'm not convinced that anything computer-related is ever 100%
bombproof, I've been running 9 for quite some time with just the "usual
precautions." [shrugs]  At least, no one has ever tattled on me for buying
such valuable items as:
