@davidgerard You'd think people wouldn't be so upset. I thought the entire idea of a citation was, "I read this thing and am using their ideas in furtherance of my own." They aren't there as an appeal to authority. They actually serve a purpose.
@trashpanda look you'll be left behind with that sort of thinking
@davidgerard 鈥at? I mean, yes? I do expect paper authors to check all the references in their papers or trust sufficiently that the other authors will do so? Why would you coauthor a paper with someone you don鈥檛 trust to do rigorous science?
