Why doesn't he, or you, cite them ?

  I don't know why the article author didn't, aside from that this doesn't seem the sort of journal where that level of bibliography is common. For my own sake, because this has been out there for a couple decades at least, and I trust you are at least as able as I am to find all the sources you desire - and without needing to suspect I might've hand-picked mine to support my thesis, besides.

    It's not my responsibility to verify your claims, it's yours.

      It's not my responsibility to support your arguments.

        If you make a claim, you should be able to stand behind it, by citing it. Responding with circular logic about who's responsibility it is to actual research is counter productive, and giving the appearance that you don't actual have a citation to back up what you are saying at all.

          Yeah, and commenting on HN while I'm in a bitchy mood isn't especially productive either. I don't have my copy of The Wizards of Langley immediately to hand, but that's where I remember first seeing details of the project, ages back. When I get the chance I'll see what that has for further reference; given the time of its publication, I suspect a lot of other sources derive at least in part from there.
