As a default, I don't let sources review quotes / copy. But I do assure you, I am *mortified* to get things wrong, publicly, on the internet where all you smart people can (and certainly will) call me out on it.

I can understand the disconnect between scientists and journalists on this issue. Here's the balance from my end of things: I want to maintain independence, and gain your trust. I don't think a journalist can do that in one story. It's about building a reputation.
