      If you don’t want to do research to support your claims, don’t make statements of fact that require verifiable claims.

      People feeling free to post whatever fictional bullshit they’ve half-remembered is how we started down this path of “post-truth” nonsense. That’s wanting to be “right” without putting in the effort to make sure you are right.

      Everyone is free to stop posting if they start walking into a conversation that is deep enough to require references: the person above did not.
