      It’s reasonable when you are inviting others to step in to correct your response, just in case you are misremembering something.

      It’s not other people’s responsibility to conduct research and finding sources on our behalf, but it’s fair to ask for sources because the person who initiated the conversation can share the source they are basing their information on, inviting scrutiny and dialogue.
