A couple of weeks ago, the Bachelor was listening on audio about a plagiarism scandal at a major university.  The information did observe that people generally don't produce citations for their claims during casual discussion (as much as they should for a term paper).  The Heir doesn't think that's right.  He believes it should be part of social etiquette for people to at least say, "According to [information outlet X], [claim]," or "[information outlet X] reports that [claim]."  It's important to make sure that casual oversights don't end up socially slipping upward into the schools.  The points of separation are as follows: Casual conversation -> Gossip rag -> Vanilla media -> Social sphere -> Schools.  It'll help schools from coming off as elitist if there's this social standard.
