You're right, but when spreading FUD it helps to have some concrete examples. Otherwise it just looks like you're going off of emotion. It's a dangerous path to go down, but a lot of people have no problem walking it.
I think this falls more into the category of being such blatant common knowledge that it doesn't need to be cited. Just as I wouldn't feel the need to cite the claim that fast-food is unhealthy.
