I dont think asking for sources is ever a bad thing. Even for basic information. We should not defer to 'trust me bro' or 'everyone already knows'
Primary sources are a thing my friend. "I was there" is valid.
It's just too easy to lie about them. They allegedly had primary sources for "They are eating the dogs".
Trusting your common sense to filter these just doesn't work, asking for a better source is never wrong.
Ok but like a lot of people saw the snow compared to the dog thing which ended up not actually having any good primary source
