Good point. Though probably the prof would expect you to read
the references on the subject. Generally one of the main purposes
of an assignment is to get the student to become familiar with
the written resources that are available and how to find them.
Just finding the information is almosst secondary.
But, on the other hand, whenever someone posts a somewhat OT question
there are far more irritating posts wasting much more bandwidth and
reader time than ever got affected by the original OT or somewhat OT
post - in the order of a couple of magnitudes more eg a hundred or two
posts per each OT post. So, I'd suggest these self-righteous flamers
find a good religious discussion to perform their cathartic ritual in.
