This is in the "Outer Limits" of Sam's complaint. For someone who can't get to his local library to find what is already there the notion of interlibrary loans is an unfathomable mystery.

I've seen that in editing disputes - where one side insists that the other side's reference isn't actually verifiable because it's not online so they can't verify it. Feel like pointing out we did actually use to be able to check things out before the internet happened you know. However I suspect most of these are fairly tendentious, along the lines of people who tag articles as unreferenced because they don't have inline references but do have a list of books from which all the facts in the article were taken.
