		Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Given his background, you'd think he'd know that he should provide some evidence for his position (instead of making this completely unsupported rant).

I think you're interpreting the structure and goal of "Bram's Thoughts" wrong. It's a guy's blog, not a thesis defense.

It's a blog post, not an academic paper. Do you cite every source when you're conversing with colleagues?

		I wasn't too upset with Bram's article, but I do think people should be citing specific claims, even in blog posts. If you make an assertion in a blog post, I have no idea if you got the information from a respected scientific journal, or Reddit, or InfoWars, or the writing of a bathroom stall. It's hard to know if the assertion is grounded in reality or just something you made up. The response I get to this is universally "LOL just look it up yourself man!", but that feels like a cop out. When I write blog posts, I put inline links all over the place to try and justify my assertions to show where I'm getting this information. If I sourced some bad information from a bad source, it's clear to know where I got it from and you can either notify me or disregard the assertion.
