Don't be lazy asking for citations for things you can easily lookup on Google. It is not the job of people on HN to do your research for you.



Note, the parent edited their post. It was just "citation needed".


I disagree for two reasons: 1. If you're making bold claims then you should ideally back them up (wouldn't the internet be better this way?); And 2. If you've done "research" then part of that would entail sharing your "findings" i.e. providing sources.

It's not about being lazy, it's about wanting a better internet experience. Making claims without backing them up doesn't sit well with me.
