I don’t spend my life chronicling every source of information I come across so I can provide a complete bibliography for every statement in conversation.

When I make a claim, I’m not writing a thesis or going for my PhD. I’m just reciting some blurry memory that such and such may be so. People that challenge me to provide peer reviewed citations of such claim are not engaging in civil conversation.
