Why don't (most) people list their sources in the course comments?

Hi everyone, been coming across some misleading comments in the comments of the courses section and I was wondering why most people won't give the sources for some of the information they provide. And it's sad that most of it can be understood by playing around with the code playground, yet some really misleading comments are at times the most up voted TLDR: please cite your sources, and test what you don't understand on the playground. Also help and flag anything misleading for clarification. GLHF.

Actually we can report comments of the courses. But it's hard to remove inappropriate /wrong content because we can't link to comments to notify the other mods (needs 3 mods to censor content, but I'm not sure if that works for comments).

i think , we dont have moderation mechanism for that right now. but let me ask Sololearn, if we can't report the misleading in Course Comment. can you specify which comment ? just for detail.

I don't know how to link specific comments, but I've come quite a few in java script and css, and even php... Most of the time I think people give their interpretation, which isn't really bad, but sources help clarify any ambiguities, this is just my opinion, thanks for the respeonses though... I'll always try to comment on any misinterpretations, that should help at least a little
