The pinnacle of academic dishonesty disguised as scholarly rigor! When you've got absolutely nothing to back up your wild claims but need to sound authoritative, just cite... nothing specific at all. Four references that all say "It is known" is basically the scientific equivalent of "trust me bro" with footnotes. The Dothraki from Game of Thrones would be proud of this citation technique. Next paper I write, I'm just going to cite "The Universe, et al." and call it a day.
