The point David is making is that you are selecting material to quote and
add.

This is a problem that happens a lot anyway; you might have a lengthy piece
of audio, video or text that discusses material - picking a few points to
quote is in itself interpreting what it important. This is why secondary
sources are better - because they do the selection for us :)
