There is nothing to be disciplined or rigorous about when doing such a quote. What you see here is all there is to it. However, scholars might want you to think otherwise, by obfuscating their work, they can make it seem more impressive.
The alleged ironic lack of discipline or rigour occurred when reading the book, not when posting the quote. But also, it looks like it was just a joke.
Unfortunately I lost the source for this—anybody recognize it? It was from a book I read 12 to 15 years ago, I can’t remember any more than that.
Thanks for the irony!
