I heared people said "that". The utterance of A is somewhat close to B in space and time. | The most natural response:
The word that in that sentence refers, of course, to the comment made by the other person.
(Say: "I have heard people say that.")

You're welcome. :D
"Distance in space and time" has to do with the speaker and nothing else. Example:
- She said I was wrong. I disagreed with that.
The "that" refers to the disagreement, which took place in the past.
