As I understand item 4 of Forum Guidelines it does not specify that every little item must have documentation perse as per your accusation.

It's fine to request documentation, but I see no violation of the spirit of 4 here by Faith.
Rule 4 states
Points should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.
The way I interpret 4 is that, while it is impractical to provide link or evidence for every assertion we make, it is the spirit of 4 to provide some kind of link or evidence for assertions regarding topics or concepts that are exotic (or at least foreign to the listening crowd). After all, this is a primarily western forum where most people are not familiar, at an intimate level, with eastern philosophies or religion. It is reasonable to interpret that in this particular case 4 applies because of the foreign nature of the assertion in question.
