I'm not kidding anyone. This is a basic tenet of good scholarship. All of his published words, at least during a significant portion of his life, are available online in a searchable database. There is no reason to make up quotes. It doesn't add to anyone's credibility when you ascribe quotes without providing the reference. To accuse KR of bad scholarship in the Fermentation of the present rebellion, and then to condone equally bad scholarship would be hypocritical. One weight, one measure.
