Don't be lazy asking for citations for things you can easily lookup on Google. It is not the job of people on HN to do your research for you.

- angrais 6y agoI disagree for two reasons: 1. If you're making bold claims then you should ideally back them up (wouldn't the internet be better this way?); And 2. If you've done "research" then part of that would entail sharing your "findings" i.e. providing sources. It's not about being lazy, it's about wanting a better internet experience. Making claims without backing them up doesn't sit well with me.
