> Demanding citations you don't plan to read

Yes, I often ask for a citation, and make a point to at least always scan them when provided, out of respect for someone putting in that effort on my behalf.

And often, turns out they are right and I make a point to sincerely thank them for the new information.

So yes, requesting a citation and then not reading it is extremely rude.
