If someone is relating a personal experience here there is no need to ask for the source of the information. It is a first person experince so the source is obvious. I then have the choice of believing them or not.
When someone relates knowledge or experience that is not their own i feel perfectly comfortable asking them where they heard or read such a thing. I then also have the choice of believing the source or not.
Many things are said about the keris, some true and some not. Some are provable and some are not. I have no doubt that there are even things we will never be able to prove about the keris that are still likely to be true regardless.
Still, i see no point in blindly accepting unsubstantiated statements without questioning both the source and the content of such statements. You may choose to disregard the questions, but i certainly mean no disrespect in asking them.
