That comes across as rude and condescending; please don't communicate like that. Your English skills seem OK but in case you still need help, they're asking for a "reference" -- that's an online source of some sort probably, where they can "learn about" it -- that means that the reference would contain content helping them to understand the topic better. For example, the helpful content you gave after your rude and condescending initial comment would be an example of such content.
- User23 2y agoOnly believing things that you can easily reason through if you are presented with some external authority really is a cognitive antipattern though. I’d say that prologue was more medicinal than condescending. It’s good to remind people in the age of LLMs and ubiquitous search that “you can just think things.”
