Or the sources require experiments which are hard/expensive to do, and the information of those experiments is very valuable, so better to keep certain things to oneself, out of respect. Again, I can point you in a direction, and it would take you a good deal of time to catch up with the background knowledge required to understand it, or I can try to have a discussion with you.
I don't argue, I propose a point of view, if you want to offer yours I'm all ears, if you want to compete for intellectual dominance, we can do that as well. I don't see how the latter is productive, the former can be a gateway for greater understanding. If you insist in being the alpha, prove it, lead, leaders do, they don't cry curse and plead when they don't get their way.
give an example of an argument that shouldnt require sources. I get the feeling you are trying to abstract this to the point of nonsense which is just a waste of time.
The sun is bright. Do you need a source for that? Temperature and pressure are related. You exist, shall I go on?
the sun is bright is a fact, its self evident that anyone who can see the sky can see, if that is you example it is a poor one.
'you exist' well that is also self evident, this argument wouldnt be taking place if i didnt.
a source doesnt need to be a peer reviewed study, it just needs to be anything you can point to. I could argue that the sun isnt bright but all you would need to do is point upwards. Maybe if you were talking to a person who has lived his whole life in a cave you might need better evidence than it being self evident, you could tell him to exit his cave to see and that would be enough, if they refuse to see for themselves then they are willfully ignorant. Both examples though you can quickly point to something to verify the truth so that both participants of the argument can be arguing over the same facts and to move onto the crux of the issue.
You don't lead, you have no answers for simple questions, rather you demand answers to stupid questions and somehow I'm supposed to put you on a pedestal?
