its considered critical to provide a source when presenting such information as part of an argument.
for instance, a search with the keyword "professor latif" under google news produces no results which seem applicable, nor do they seem to find a comparative "latif", or indicate that such a person exists.

it's not unlikley that some professor made some such statement. altho, it doesn't fit the published measurements, and we have to take a look at his source data.
however, that statement, in quotes, when entered into google news, has no results.

are you sure this event happened recently? do you have better keywords, since you seem determined to make us search rather than providing a source link?
since google doesn't find it, perhaps you have been bamboozled, it would be interesting to examine your source.
