FWIW, in your comment above you had asked for “any empirical evidence”.
I agree that Zvi’s story is not “strong evidence”, but I don’t think that means it “doesn’t count” — a data point is a data point, even if inconclusive on its own.
(And I think it’s inappropriate to tell someone that a data point “doesn’t count” in response to a request for “any empirical evidence”. In other words, I agree with your assessment that you were being a little bit of an asshole in that response ;-) )

Alright, sorry. I should have asked “is there any non-weak empirical evidence that...”. Sorry if I was condescending.
