Something always bugged me about the Society's publications. They'd always use phrases like "many persons do this" or "one expert says", or "many believe". The person being referred to or quoted is always veiled in obscurity. I often wondered, who really ARE these people? Do they really exist? Even as a rookie undergraduate student, the word bibliography was constantly drummed into my head. So much so, I could write one in my sleep!
If I were to write a paper with vague references like those, I would get a failing grade in a hot second! The lecturer wont even finish reading the assignment! Don't the Society's writers (if you can call them that) even know what references or bibliographies are?
Then again, why put references when you've taken the quote out of context, blatantly lied, or doctored the quotation.
