{{fact}}

Or, to be less cavalier, we now require sourcing as the major way to  
resolve accuracy disputes. We do not, as a matter of policy, and never  
have required sourcing for things that nobody is suspicious of, and we  
do not encourage any sort of Cartesian doubt.

Or, if we do, it's a new and foolish development.
