Hey academia, Just a friendly reminder that in almost all cases, the solution comes from being hard on the problem, not on the person

Can we all agree to have default citation for general knowledge? Like "...evidence indicates bread is soft" (1) 1. Everyone et. al. "This is general knowledge and if you didn't know this, this paper is probably not going to be for you"
