Don't appreciate the snark, but do appreciate the report.

I simply don't think it is the readers responsibility to have to provide support for the OPs statement. If you are going to propose something, you should have done the work to show you know what you are talking about.

Remember that you are trying to convince the reader. You have to bring the research to support your opening statement.
