Citation Obsession


This article presents an interesting view on referencing - and perhaps makes a good point in some regard - that teachers who are pedantic about correct citations (and we're talking about the mechanics of full stops, italics etc) can force their students to spend more time worrying about that, and less time reading widely and developing great ideas.  In effect, crippling free thinking.
