While you have been around HN longer than I have, I believe the general feeling of HN is that the burden of proof is on the claimant, which would be you. So yes, please do include a list of references next time.
You don't find it a little odd that you feel it necessary that I provide the links and resources to easily findable information, but the commenter who I replied to need not substantiate his claims in a similar way? Especially when the burden of proof for those statements are much higher? In any event, downvote away. Let your prejudices rein supreme.

Most of what he posted was his opinion. How would he substantiated that what he posted is actually his opinion?
You made a readily verifiable claim and got it wrong. In doing so, you actually provided evidence supporting one of his points.
