    Asking for a source should never be looked down on in discussions like this where misinformation can be rampant and accuracy is important

      Accuracy is the excuse of lazy people, if I want a source I look for it and if I want I share it. What you consider so important is not important at all. No one owns his time to you or anyone else.

        While I would like to agree with you, because far too often people dont ask for a source in good faith, would have to be consistent with the etiquette and require that the burden of proof falls on the person that makes a claim.

            Nah you’re the one who’s confused. Nobody owes you their attention any more than you “owe” a source. And asking for a source is not the same as demanding or claiming to be owed. You incorrectly created that context in your own head.
