Replying to @davewripley
Interesting! I definitely don’t treat citations that way (I’ll cite something that influenced me - or preempted me without too much influence, now I think about it - even if I don’t actually think it’s very good and wouldn’t recommend reading). Maybe the IHE author more like you.
