-Caveat Lector-
Dear Prudy,
I understand the spirit of what you say, but in truth, plenty of mature
individuals DO ask for proof. It doesn't mean that they won't confirm
through their own research, but it helps to filter out those who have
consciously checked their sources from those others who merely trustfully
recite hearsay.
Each of us hears thousands of second-hand reports daily; no-one has the
reasonable opportunity to confirm each one personally. Asking the immediate
reporter for source citations is one of the chief methods each of us has for
verification, and serves to weed out the obviously untrustworthy from the
getgo.
