I remember reading a rant on reddit (or something, maybe it was one of those TV Show fact sites) about people who were convinced there was some throwaway line in Voyager that implied you needed matter tanks to store matter for replication.
Turns out the line they were talking about had to do with the matter/anti-matter tanks for the warp drive.
Sometimes fans are just dumb and completely reinterpret canon as whatever they want it to be anyways.
