Your ask for evidence has nothing to do with whether or not this is a question, which you know that it is.

It does nothing to answer their question because anyone that knows the answer would inherently already know that it happened.

Not even actual academics, in the literature, speak like this. “Cite your sources!” in causal conversation for something easily verifiable is purely the domain of pseudointellectuals.

I think it’s fair to expect a question mark when the author expects other people to produce an answer.

If one desires deeper understanding, they should at least have the stamina to ask their question gracefully.
