By at least pretending it is valid and understanding that the reasons a source can't be provided is completely rational and having a discussion on that worldview instead of arguing flaws. This is a chronic issue on the internet: arguing flaws for no reason.

I'm not sure what you mean by "valid." I think people can and should be kinder about asking, but it's always fair to ask "how did you learn that" if it's unclear.

But saying you don't remember is a fair response, too.
