Do you guys know what's a "baseless DISMISSAL FALLACY", and do you recognize it as the same reasoning as what's formally known as "bare assertion fallacy" ?

Someone told me this so I wanted to know if its a real thing or not
 
No it's not a written fallacy, but the logic behind the term makes sense in scenarios.
 
Upon a cursory websearch and result from some random austrailian educational gov website; sauce

Term
Meaning
Bare Assertionstatements that are not supported by facts. Bare assertions can be
used to cast doubt on the reliability of evidence.
