More like: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. That wild claim needs some backing, lest we all be justified in making fun of it.

The extraordinary claim is that talking to a ‘counsellor’ or ‘psychologist’ has any net positive benefits that are measurable in any way.

The extraordinary claim at issue is YOURS:

> News just in: talking about your mental health, especially for men, does not improve your mental health.

> For the majority of men, most of the time.
