Show your work, do the cost justification, and make your assumptions explicit. Until either of you do that, you’re just guessing.

  I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect someone to do that work, or even have the tools or data sources to do that work. Sure, I think it's reasonable to expect people to provide sources to support ideas when possible, but it's a little unreasonable to expect people to do extensive first-party research to support their opinions. I think there's value in the discussion either way. Most of the time I don't think we're going to change people's minds with this sort of discussion, but I do enjoy seeing what people's positions are on these sorts of topics, and find that I learn things from it.

    If they’re unwilling to do the work, then they should stop pretending to be certain that their opinion is correct.

      Why do you require sources from majormajor and not anonporridge? Neither presented supporting data for their opinions, but majormajor was simultaneously pointing out that anonporridge didn't. You seem to be showing your bias in favor of anonporridge's positions by who you choose to demand evidence from.

  Just like the comment that he was replying to did?
