You’re contending that sharing sources online won’t accomplish anything because people are resistant to changing their opinions. Yes, that’s currently true; and while I see a benefit in the current world to sharing sources, why not also imagine a world in which it actually does change opinions? There’s no physiological or psychological law that makes opinion change impossible. People can change because people do change, so why don’t we do what we can to make that more common?

But how does including sources make that world? How does it move from point A to point B? You haven’t thought of that at all. You’re applying reasoning to positions you hold, not reasoning to reach positions.
