How can it be a valid objection if you've provided zero evidence to back it up? You are the one who decries a lack of supporting evidence, yet you've provided none in any of your replies so far. Particularly: "holding opinions without any evidence is a modern plague" because it looks a lot like a personal opinion of yours with zero presented evidence to back it up.

- BitwiseFool 5y agoI don't like the duplicity of demanding citations and grandstanding about how bad it is not to provide any, while simultaneously making claims with "zero evidence". If they'll call me out on it, I'll hold them to their own standard right back. This is despite the fact that I don't believe everything needs a citation. In any event, this is getting more and more contentious and we should probably all just leave things be.

- BitwiseFool 5y agoI don't see where it backs up your claim that "People holding opinions without any evidence is a modern plague". Don't pearlclutch about presenting opinions without evidence without providing the evidence you expect from others.
