We now do require people source things, we just aren't very good at enforcing it (I believe it was Jimbo that said people shouldn't be tagging dubious statements with {{fact}}, they should just be removing them completely).
We only require sources for quotes and facts that are challenged or "likely to be challenged", a compromise that I think is reasonable enough. Jimbo is right that dubious claims should be removed to the talk page - but only because they are dubious, not be because they are unsourced.
