Poster B, "take it to the lab".

Result: An unsupported statement is allowed to remain in place, while anyone with any knowledge, or understanding of the science being discussed, is censured.
Taken a step further:
Poser A: makes a claim that the Pioneer VSX-1015TX receiver comes with 3 HDMI inputs,
Poster B: wants to dispute this claim - they're permitted to do so.
Poster B: Could ask for a link or a "source" verifying Poster A's claim without being moved to another forum
Result: the proper information has a better chance of being reported in the forum.

For matters of technical/scientific truth, the standing policy dictates members are not permitted to behave in the same fashion...the policy seems inconsistent, if not biased.
