It's quite clear the OP is speaking in an anecdotal manner.
The use of [citation needed] is one of the most infuriating, passive-aggressive internet trends perpetrated by people who clearly don't understand the point of citations [1].

- dragonwriter 8y ago> It's quite clear the OP is speaking in an anecdotal manner. No, it wasn't; OP made a universal claim (“most people” not “most people I know”), and a claim of irony which makes more sense with a real geerality. I actually assumed (and, in fact, still assume despite your interjection) that the not_a_pizza had some basis for making that general claim, and merely omitted it, perhaps because they assumed others were familiar with it.
- scott_s 8y agoI agree, but there are less snarky ways to say that.
