Any claim without a URI should be treated as suspicious

I claim there is a tea pot in orbit around the sun. I can’t sustain my claims by bringing a link, you need to provide reference to prove that I am wrong.

I mean I have a teapot on my stove. It's orbiting the sun. So you're correct.

*I know what reference you're making, I just like to be a pain. :)

If you made the claim then the burden of proof is on you. The thing I was talking about is that I can automatically win the fight by asking you to provide a link.

Edit to add: a link that I know for sure you won't be able (or will be very difficult for you) to provide.

But there are many tea pots orbiting the sun, the path they follow is a bit weird though ^_^

While difficult for me to characterize, I feel that there is a middle ground for more casual interactions that doesn't call for maximum rigor so as to fend off the most radical claims. In practice, we can just dismiss them without engaging.
