- jessriedel 11y agoThis is a silly requirement (and seems equivalent to unfortunate perception that asking for tl;dr summaries is always bad, when in academics they are called "abstracts" and are considered essential). If someone obliquely cites one part of a long reference, it's not unreasonable to ask them to specify which part. And as you can see from his reply, it would not have been useful to read the article.
