This is what I read in an essay.
"These assumptions are based on neither research nor survey. Indeed, this hollow stance makes the argument fall apart. "

@wgong,
It means without a solid basis in proof or unsubstantiated. hollow = empty

I agree with Ragman, when I read his answer I figured he had it covered.
