It's hilariously common online as well. Bullshitter makes a claim, someone calls them on the BS, they put up a link, and (lo and behold) the link when examined does nothing to defend the claim. Often the link directly contradicts the claim.

Yep..the online link posters hit close to home. Big reason I hardly even engage in discourse anymore. Got tired of verifying links that don't have the claimed content in them.
