To clarify:  By ordinary fair use I mean all those quotations that few 
of us ever worry about.  They are why such a law exists in the first 
place.  "Questionable fair use" refers to all those claims founded on 
the contributors convenience without any analysis resembling the legal 
conditions for fair use.  Perhaps an analysis could support the fair use 
claim, but we don't know that unless it's done.
