I'm at a loss for words. Both for the statement and for the underlying idea that citations are basically window dressing meant to give random statements an air of academic credibility. Pathetic.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
