WP:RS is just a set of opinions; it arguably shouldn't even be a guidline, because anything decent in it is just copied from V, and anything else is confusing nonsense.
Sorry, I shouldn't have expressed that so strongly. There's some decent advice in WP:RS about how different subject areas approach the issue of sourcing. It's just that overall I find the tone condescending; obvious things are made more complicated than they need to be; and there's a huge amount of fluff that just confuses people.
