If the word "cite" meant "citation to admissible evidence" then you wouldn't often write something to the effect of "plaintiffs fail to cite any evidence for their proposition that...." You would just write, "plaintiffs fail to provide a cite for their proposition that." But we both know that wouldn't make any sense. What you mean is that the plaintiffs don't have admissible evidence, not that they don't have a cite.
