I don't agree, usually.

Since you're new around here and/or have trouble distinguishing an internet discussion from a term paper, let me explain how it works: I make a claim, and if we're in dispute about that claim, I provide a source. If you still disagree, you provide a source which contradicts mine and (hopefully) is a more authoritative one. By that process we arrive at something resembling the truth.

Since you've provided nothing but a snooty gaze down from your ivory tower, I've already been overly generous in my response. But I'll go one step further - that's Wikipedia, with a capital "W". :D
