I'm not sure if it's just me, but I feel like the burden
of proof is being misplaced when references like this
are made without any pointers to text or excerpts or an
Amazon book, or even a Wikipedia article or Google page
on the topic.  It's hard enough to read the information
without having to find it.  I feel that (in the 21st
century) posting names of documents without links is
saying, in effect, "If you benighted masses won't go
through the same pain to find this knowledge that I did,
you don't deserve to have it.". Of course you can't make
the horse drink, but if you're not dedicated to having
him be thirsty, at least put out "water here" signs.

Live long and prosper,
Kennita
