Maybe you need to engage in some hands-on scientific study of this theory. Rigorous testing should prove the theory's validity.

Here we have the classic computational "halting" problem. When testing an arbitrary system, you can't tell, a priori, how long to run the tests. Short of a simulation, which would by definition run as long as the original system, there is no general algorithm, that, given a program as input, can tell if it ever halts.
In other words, he would have to suck on you forever to prove that he could do so forever. Yet, one hesitates to risk insulting you by denying the "EverLasting" part of your name. It might be entirely correct but we just can't test it.
I recommend, as a compromise, that the sucking test be carried out for a representative sample of time, say ten years or so, followed by some very precise measurements to see if an appreciable amount of erosion has occurred.
