That's like saying a published book is not a verifiable source because I 
can't make more copies and pass those around to wouldbe checkers. If you 
don't have a copy of the book I used, you're going to have to borrow it. 
Some of the more addicted Wikipedians have even been known to *buy* 
books in order to use them as references!
