Paper trail
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
A paper trail is a way in which bureaucrats and researchers used to track people and things before the internet was invented IRL. Paper trails provide the best kind of proof (written) for one's arguments and because of this they are still used today. Scholars often utilize paper trails to come up with proof for their theories.
How to prove a point with a paper trail
- Locate something which you disagree agree with.
- Inform everyone you know that this thing is a lie.
- Go to a library, museum or archive; locating the appropriate documents, preferably ones which are extremely technical and hard to understand. In a pinch, one may create fake, tea-stained or sandworn scrolls and tomes instead.
- Cite said documents thoroughly; remember, people being lazy, the more you cite, the less likely anyone is to call you on your bullshit.
- ????
- Profit!
