When someone posts a link, they're not asserting that the statement supported by the link is conclusive because of the link. They're just giving the reader a way of looking at the basis for their claims.

With respect, there are a number of posters who do exactly that - throw out a link to a "respected" source and that's the be-all, end-all of their argument. Further, these same posters immediately *dismiss* any link that is not from a "respected" (Read: left wing media or similar) in an attempt to Poison the Well.
