You ask:

> How is "I disagree" any more direct than "I've not heard anything like this.

But then you go on to say:

> Moreover who's to say this person even disagrees? Personally i don't always ask for them because of a disagreement.

If you don't see how just disagreeing with someone is more direct than rhetorically asking for sources... we might just have to agree to disagree :)
