The one making bald assertions carries the burden of supporting them when asked.
Of course, statements that analytically self-explain themselves may or may not require citation of sources.
Likewise, a statement that proceeds by reason or by empirical methods may stand alone needing no citation. And the same goes for original thinking.
Your attempt at mirroring my questions put to you falls short here.
And you clearly failed to understand the self-explanatory nature of what I said and what preceded it.
In addition, you have no right to demand citations to the clearly obvious by your own reasoning and probably would not recognize original thinking should you accidentally encounter it while on your way to one of your false conclusions.
