The entire purpose of building research on a citational structure is that the inevitable flaws are traceable and stable enough in their location that the overall field structure can take those mistakes/debates into account as part of the field discourse.

I had a great conversation with a librarian last year where she said the instability and general inability to reliably trace bots as a reference source are sort of a perfect storm. Students "research" w the tool, but repeating the search doesn't yield a stable output.

ive often wondered what the mix is between the possibility that those who go on are the ones who do a lot of reading (we have plenty of those still!) or that they ramp up as they go on (me, i think). as you suggest, no amount of doing the reading is much use against the headwinds now
