Including humans. I’m not going near the person launching pinecones at my head from their yard.

But quoting it implies it’s an invalid claim.
Interesting. I read the quotes as meaning: someone else said it, it’s not just some opinion we made up. In this case, it was reporting the coroner’s official finding.
In other words, I understood it to be reinforcing the claim rather than invalidating it.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.
Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.
Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn’t mean that it’s not beneficial to repeat it for others.
The “idiot” comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.
