Which  I'm not advocating. I'm saying that we need to understand that  
the  relationship between a summary and a source is not 1:1, and that  
any  summary is going to introduce material that is not from sources.   
Such information cannot simply be cut out of the process - it needs  to  
be carefully engaged with. Sources are vital, but we cannot  pretend  
that an article is simply a natural and obvious extension of  its  
sources.>>

Sure, provided that the additional information is simple infererence,  
observation, deduction, with which a person "skilled in the art" would in  general 
agree.  We already cover this.
