Verifiability and sources are great, and are a good goal to be aiming for. But if we don't have them, let's at least have make sure Wikipedia contains "true" "facts" in the meantime.
Well, I'm not advocating deleting everything in Wikipedia that doesn't have a citation from a reliable source beside it. However, the instant someone says "I don't think this statement is true or factual", then you do have to produce a verifiable citation from a reliable source to back it up.
Which is basically what the current policy says.
