You're getting this "credible source" business all wrong. (Though you're hardly on your own on that.) What you want is people to back their assertions with sound arguments. Admittedly, there's little of that actually going on here too.
Given how little anyone on here seems to know what they're talking about, I suppose it's not surprising that they keep asking for credible sources - lacking any competence to argue for a claim one way or another, they squabble about their opponents' sources. But it's really rather tired. It would be nice to see someone actually try to mount a decent case for a claim, rather than rely on their hazy understanding of something someone might have been saying somewhere else.
