A) Dissertation is also for some bachelor and master degrees, not just PHD. Depending on the college, it's often called a thesis; but some do distinguish the two terminology as different. B) None of what you said are not sources of what he was originally asking, he cannot source what some guy "dropped alot of info" on a forum.

Are you upset because I used the word ignorant? Look up it's actual meaning, its not a "bad word" or an insult. Hence my IMMEDIATE example of saying me writing about a mechanical engineering issue would be from a place of ignorance. OP said he's working on a dissertation, not some simple paper. Those are worlds apart. Dissertations are typically written for your PhD. If dude is actually writing a dissertation, but doesn't know the 1st thing about either of the topics... he's not on the right track.

If that got you upset, you need to re-calibrate your dander meter.
