Outrageous claims are a dime a dozen.  Whoever made it was either
bullshitting, or was making a very specific claim (that probably few
people care about), and tried to attract attention to his agenda by
headlining it with an outrageous statement.  In the latter case the
statement is meaningless without the context.  So better forget about
that.
