19. Unassailable

In her Remarks at the High-Level Meeting on Nutrition to the UN in NYC on 9/20/11, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said,

"Now, I know that you’ve covered a lot of this ground already and will continue to do so in the consultations tomorrow and afterwards, so let me simply say this: The United States is firmly committed to our investments in global nutrition, and we believe fervently that improving nutrition for pregnant women and children under two is one of the smartest investments we or anyone can make. The science for this is unassailably clear: When we ensure that women and children receive essential nutrients within the 1,000-day window, we can set youngsters on a better path toward lifelong health. When we miss that window, children can suffer both physical and cognitive damage that cannot be reversed."

Can you suggest a synonym that would be equally emphatic?
 
Unassailable: not open to attack or assault
