If someone makes some outlandish claim about, e.g., Spiderman's super-powers, and asserts that the comic books prove him right, I expect him to provide the proper citations to back up his claim. Issue number... page number.

The Bible is holistic. Every verse must be understood in the context of the entire Bible. Simply citing verses (out of context and ignoring centuries of theological interpretation by church fathers) can lead to misunderstanding.
I've heard stories of non-denominational Christian couples arguing about mundane household matters, each armed with a Bible, frantically seeking verses to support their claim as to how to divvy up chores, or how money should be spent, or who should decide.
