True, what helps against this is giving quotes of the dead tree sources
in the footnotes.
Andries
That of course helps, as you and others have pointed out; there are still,
of course, occasional cases when the single quote does not really provide
the required context, or when taken out of context can be completely
misinterpreted. I think anyone working in contentious areas would have had
some experience of that nature.

the following appears to need copyediting for {{{1}}}, but is actually
carefully paraphrased from {{{2}}}. Be careful when copyediting.
Or can't parameters be used in comments?
