    Lately I’ve been telling people who ask for sources that they need to convince me they are asking in good faith. Real sincere responses will get a source, the real utility is it ends the conversation more quickly when it’s a disingenuous request. Best to save energy for the teachable.

      They’re not looking for actual citations. Google works just as well for them as it does for you. They want to waste your time.
