Man I'm feeling sorry for being such a dick to you in the past. As far as the argument, I read that argumentation as "i refuse to use google, because I know I would find the source, and that it would support my opponent's argument, and I lack the motive to do that". Refusal of footrubs isnt lack of source. Usually you can answer source by naming it. When it is named, it is provided as a source. No one is obligated to purchase/print/mail a book in order to discuss a book with other online.

Take for instance academia, where a source notation is simply a line of text which DIRECTS the reader to a source. Never was there any expectation that a paper would be delivered to the reader with the actual physical sources. This is the standard for professionals, but it is the same even in casual debate. For instance, there has never been an expectation that in order to claim something about LOTR that I must supply you with LOTR. Your awareness and accessibility to the material are sufficient.

For the record, I think I know that you know I'm right. That I don't really believe your heartfelt investment in your argument is a compliment, though. Only weak people fold entirely, it is in the nature of a good or decent or unbroken man to resist.
