You sound like you found it more important that the source of the claim be found, than the conclusion of those resources not being as easily available. Barring the idea that anyone can look at facts and come to an conclusion of their own instead if it always needing to be a quote. Weird take.

I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone from the generation that was capable of witnessing the situation and drawing their own conclusions. You are correct, I did fail to link to a person who has written the conclusion on their blog, all ready for citation.
