There is no way you can find 'facts' to back up that sort of communication. However, I have experienced it, as has most everyone. I mean c'mon, you generally know when someone is digging your presence and when they're not. No 'facts' needed and not likely to be forthcoming at any rate.

Is it somewhat accurate to say that a theory is a hypothesis that hasn't been disproved? The scientist who does not stay alert to new evidence is likely to have a limited career.

My Zen teacher spoke of the importance of doubt, of realizing that what you think may be true, may, in fact, not be. He also spoke of people who discover some small bit of truth and set up shop right on the spot, intending to make their living off of that discovery. Not likely to lead to any sort of deep understanding.

If Ryan's line of rap impressed me deeply, I'd be inclined to disregard, to some degree, the non-verbal clues he puts out. But his overly self confident manner, convinced he has the whole truth if only fools will take the time to listen, fits with his words. Not unlike a scientist who thinks he's ready for prime time but isn't.
