No it’s not required. This is a discussion board not a thesis paper review board. Do your own googling. If he or she is wrong then call bullshit.

- zadjii 8y agoIMO "Reputed and trustworthy citations from scientific sources required, please." is just a more elegant way of calling bullshit
- hopler 8y agoIt's an elegant way of covering noise with more noise.
- kortilla 8y agoIt is required. Just claiming something is well-known to counter someone’s suggestion without providing any evidence isn’t very productive.
- jimmy1 8y agoNo other suggestion was offered in the post I am referring to, just a "sources pl0x" ask. Here is the simplest counter example I can think of. "Gravity is real." "Reputed and trustworthy citations from scientific sources required, please." You can get less and less ridiculous from here ad nauseam, but the point is made.
- newscracker 8y ago"It is well known" is a weasel word, and hence requires more substantiation when asked. If one has to rely on Googling on these matters, one can find so many contradictory views. So I wanted to know what reputed sources the GP was relying on to use "It is well known" for that claim.
