Actual quote from Taleb:

> If a GMO-imbecile ask you for "a citation", answer: "Pls provide a citation about requirement for a citation for a logical argument."

He finally deleted the idiot tweet in question, but it's preserved here: http://web.archive.org/web/20150924032003/https:/twitter.com... Note also the responses citing his own university's instructions on how to cite stuff for a logical argument.

So you are saying that Taleb engages in the same sort of behavior that I am talking about? Great. He needs to stop as well.
