The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
Or you need to perform a medium intensity or low intensity type exercise for a long period of time before you shift over to burning fat. And indeed it seems that going into all that fasted will facilitate the burning of more fat overall.

At a period of about 90 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, there's a switch-over point whereby if you ate before the exercise, you will burn far less fat from the 90 minute point onward than you would if you had gone into the training fasted.
If you're going to go long duration, it probably doesn't matter unless you're exercising longer than 90 minutes whether or not you eat or not.
Turns out showing up to that fasted can be useful if you start with high-intensity movements and then move into lower-intensity-type exercise.
