I will try to defend my blinds more but not go all out and look slowly. Thank you for your help. If I have any more questions I will come back to you.
Yes. If possible every statement should be backed up with data; otherwise the person talking is just speaking heresy.
Generally speaking, when I review BB defense with students I recommend being slightly tighter than the equilibrium outputs specifically in BB vs IP RFI and even more specifically against 2.0bb opens. There are some exploits to be done, however, and many situations exist in which you may want to deviate the opposite direction--defending wider.
I also find it useful to at least take a look at the EVs from preflop sims with regards to these outputs so that one may better understand the hierarchy of the hand classes and identify which ones are closest to 0 EV as these are typically the hand class you'd be deviating with in one direction or another.
I'll leave you with some HRC outputs for your and others' personal review:
vs BTN 2.0bb
vs BTN 2.0bb EV matrix for calling
vs BTN 2.2bb
vs BTN 2.2bb EV matrix for calling
vs BTN 2.5bb
vs BTN 2.5bb EV matrix for calling
vs BTN 3.0bb
vs BTN 3.0bb EV matrix for calling
