This is a safe space, and you can be as stubborn as you want to be. I'm tired of citations as well. I just find that reality is often greatly more nuanced, and contains many more contradictions and exceptions than we might want it to be/have. That's why I tend to be a suspicious of broad, predictive patterns, and prefer to sit back and wait for the boring factual details to trickle in. Either way, thanks for clarifying.
