The [citation needed] argument just says, "I'm going to ignore everything you present if it isn't proven, despite the fact that I've not proven my own position.

The [citation needed] argument just says, "I'm going to ignore everything you present if it isn't proven, despite the fact that I've not proven my own position."
- shadowgovt 5y agoMy position is simply to be skeptical of these assertions. People throw around a lot of unsourced claims; skepticism is often a correct response. There's nothing for one to prove when one's own position is "I'm not convinced by your argument." (For example, when the citation was provided on the claim a few layers upthread, it indeed was revealed to be wanting, as the bulk of its data relied on Internet polls).
