I hate that quote.
It is idiotic, it mixes objectivity with subjectivity.
"Claims require evidence" is the proper way, you make an exraordinary claim, you simply need to provide evidence for it.
It memorable and serves it's purpose to help inoculate lay people against pseudoscience. Something more objective but less catchy would not serve that purpose as well.
