But... isn't that the whole point? If we can confirm it from outside sources
then we're not discussing anything here. We all know that if we can confirm

The problem is that I, as a normal editor, have no way of verifying anything
when User:Joe_Blog changes something in an article and just cites "Personal
Correspondence". Do I leave it there or not? I say not.
