that's like saying my source is in a book in the library. not really useful
Well when the whole book is about that one thing…
yhea, but which book?
The one that was linked. I know it’s not a book. I was using your own analogy.
are you aware what analogies are?
you didn't link a book, but the whole library.
Okay so then again. It doesn’t matter what book I choose as a source. They are all about what the post is about.
So cite which documents support the claim. If it’s so easy it shouldn’t be hard to do. You’re basically replying to a statement of that’s illegal and being asked to cite what is illegal by saying reference all of the legal caselaw. It may be technically correct but it’s useless. There is a reason academics and legal scholars say reference paragraph x of book y etc. if you can’t provide easy examples why would I buy your claim?
Put up or shut up.
