CONFIRMED - I will only move onto another argument if it is shown that multiple facts I have relied upon are inaccurate
Provide evidence for your position or arguments
CONFIRMED - I will demonstrate sufficient evidence that my position or arguments are due to dementia, delusions of grandeur, and constipation
Do not argue that you do not 'need' evidence
CONFIRMED - I will instead supply evidence in the form of direct quotes from the first Google result that confirms my beliefs or suspicions on the topic
