Hey, some of it is garbage. Nothing wrong with the truth. Citing good work is fine, citing garbage is just that, citing garbage. SCOTUS cites Euro garbage, it has no binding authority. Why do they then cite Euro garbage? Your guess is as good as mine.
Well, you're not going to find me arguing with that. But when its your job, you try to find respectful euphemisms to describe why the stink should stay where it is.
