Don't Do ThisDon't paste a citation you haven't opened
A model will produce a case name, a study, or a page number in exactly the right shape and with total confidence, and the source may not exist. The formatting is not evidence.
Instead: Open every link and search for the exact quoted sentence before it leaves your desk. If you cannot find the source in thirty seconds, cut the claim.
