Yeah, this. Bear in mind it's possible that having made a sweeping
statement that he cannot back up and that he secretly knows was
unfounded, your lecturer will be defensive and uncomfortable. Chances
are after your conversation he will have gone away and done the same
research you did and may well have modified his opinion but will be
too embarrassed to admit that to you.
