And I can do that. But I have no interest for hunting down citations for information which you can verify for yourself with a trivial investment of time and energy.
I think you forget the economics of the burden of time investment. You spent the energy to write the original article, a small amount of additional energy for source material would have greatly increased any expected effects (that I can imagine you holding to originally write said article), and overall it is far more effecient for one person—namely, you, the author, to invest some additional energy into your article, rather than having every potential reader go and wastefully recapitulate the search on their own.
So not only is your approach rude, it is also ineffecient.
