The corollaries of these three rules are that
non-trivial, non-harmful
statements don't *have* to be cited, but *should* be. This is what
most people *do*, but is not what our policies *say*.
Anyone agree?
Of course. The problem, though, is those who write what they see as
self-evidently true, but which is not self-evident to others. Or
maybe is considered flat wrong by others.
