Jun 20, 2017 at 13:50 comment added Wasabi Link rot is the link breaking because of a change of URL. It has nothing to do with the quality of the information contained in the link. If the link rots, your answer becomes useless for future readers. Which is why it is best practice to quote the relevant parts of the source as well as offer the source itself, if available. Then the link might rot, but the relevant information will still be in your answer.
Jun 20, 2017 at 13:33 comment added Solar Mike @wasabi I gave an answer to the very last question posed by the O P - "Is there an authoritative reference for this?" Surely answering that question with the information , of arguably one of the most eminent sources, is correct and not, as you say "link rot".
Jun 20, 2017 at 13:26 comment added Wasabi So as to avoid link-rot, please expand your answer to include the relevant information from the link provided, at least the most essential points. Feel free to quote directly from the source.
