I dont think asking for sources is ever a bad thing. Even for basic information. We should not defer to 'trust me bro' or 'everyone already knows'
Look there are some wild claims that deserve a request for sources.
Outside of that I would think you can check it out on your own if you don't already know. How is it that this "do your research" crowd doesn't know how to do their own research?
The scenario here is Person A makes claim. Person B wants a source.
If you want Person B to accept your claim you have to back it up. If you dont care then the point is moot. Its that easy.
Dont lump me into random crowds. Im just saying that this meme is for some reason promoting the 'trust me bro' stance and I dont like that.
