    but I think it’s probably best to be accurate about citing these things

    The book neither deserves the respect, nor do practitioners bother to get it right either, so nah

      If someone is trying to use a particular text to justify their shitty behavior, the ability to point to that very text can be useful when criticizing their actions.

      If nothing else, either you or they will probably learn something from the interaction.
