New rule: Before you write a word of non-fiction, you should be required to read a page of nonfiction about whatever it is you’re writing. Have a thousand words to write? Good for you. Now back up your words with knowledge. At least 1000 pages worth.
Words without evidence or citation are just words. Indeed, they’re eminently Digg-able words (usually in the form of “Top N Ways to Something Your Something”) but they’re words nonetheless.
