Irrationality game upvote for disagreement. This is based on the confidence rather than the claim. I would also upvote if the probability given was, say, less than 1%.

80% is hardly "confident"... but fair enough.

I perhaps could have said "the specific probability estimate given" to be clearer about the meaning I was attempting to convey.
