Indeed, it should be a cakewalk for an expert to source anything uncontraversial - certainly it took me ~45 seconds to search through Ostlie & Carroll for the Sun's temperature, and I'm a lowly graduate student.

Sure, but if James Joyce really is "one of the most significant writers of the 20th century" then we should have no problem finding a source which states that.
Remembering that we don't give credence to expert editors because they *know* details they can ramble off, but rather, because they know where *to look* to find the sources.
We, are not sources. I wouldn't support any position that claims that we, as editors, are also sources.
