I think my biggest pet peeve is when someone shares an insight which is unmistakably based on intuition, inference, critical thinking, etc (all mental faculties we are allowed to use to come to conclusions in the face of information asymmetry btw)

...and then gets hit deadpan with the good old "Source?", like it's some sort of gotcha.

I think people have started to confuse "making logical conclusions without perfect info" with "misinformation"

-

Before certain people start acting like this is advocating for misinformation (which would be an incredible irony...) it's not.

I'm saying if you disagree with what someone supposits, just state so directly. Don't wrap it in a disingenous query for a source.
