    Do you have any understanding of your own? This secondhand, copy pasted stuff rings hollow.

      I’m a scholar. It means not pulling stuff from your ass and citing your sources.

        If you understand your subject then you can use your own words, no need for citation.

        If you do not understand your subject then citation will only make things worse.
