Which say something completely different than what the post says they do.

When people ask for citations they generally expect the citation to actually support the argument you are making.

Ok, great, that sounds like the start of a valid argument.

Having bad citations or mispresenting what they say is completely different from being citationless. When some throwaway claims one and means the other I (quite reasonably in my opinion) assume they are simply mistaken rather than being more informed than me.
