The word "supported" is extremely ambiguous. This part of
verifiability is unarguable:
All information in Wikipedia must be directly verifiable, or have been
published in a verifiable and credible source.

What we've been arguing about is what to do if those sources are not
actually cited.

So, in your sentence does "supported" mean the sources must exist, or
they must be cited?
