Another issue: a particular promoter of a particular POV cites a book
in support of his argument.  It is not a widely-circulated book.
Others are unable to find the book, or, having found the book, unable
to find the specific text supposedly quoted.  At some point we have to
apply the "yeah, right" rule and remove it.
