⚠ Warning: a correct-looking reference is not evidence.

This book was written while public documents were being withdrawn because their
reference lists contained sources that did not exist. Chapter Seven treats the problem
directly. The same discipline was applied to this book: a source that could not be verified
was removed rather than dressed in a citation format.
