- 16-2 Claims quoting another source should be enclosed in quotation marks, with the source immediately following.
- 26-3 The simplest way to clarify an ambiguous claim is to make a related claim restating it with the necessary caveats.

Better to help even lazy people become less ignorant, don't you think?
nope.
largely because the claim becomes ambiguous; am i agreeing that the saying is true, or that woody allen said it?
What if you disagree with the description but agree with the claim? It's just a punt. I agree with Vynce's comment elsewhere that the quotation marks are ugly, and think the source would be better housed outside of the claim itself, but putting it on the description page is burying it a little too much.
