A citation would be a link to an authoritative source. Just because some unknown person claims it's obvious that's not sufficient for some of us.

Expecting every little fact to have an "authoritative source" is just annoying faux intellectualism. You can ask someone why they believe something and listen to their reasoning, decide for yourself if you find it convincing, without invoking such a pretentious phrase. There are conclusions you can think to and reach without an "official citation".
