And therein lies your entire problem... People like you can't grasp depletion by any other metric than price. Market manipulated price, at that.
To you, oil is oil - there apparently are no different grades - and, thus, the BTU efficiency in a barrel of oil today being about half what it used to be somehow doesn't matter.
I've provided a dozen times what the falsifiable proof could be. Have the IEA and/or the EIA come out and show that new discoveries have miraculously NOT fallen off a cliff. Show how there is either 1) abundant, economically recoverable supply for decades to come, or 2) show what the allegedly seamless transition to some mystery alternative will be that isn't perpetually stuck in test-phase hope, limited by scale and basic physics.
