Such carefully 'selective quotation' is quite typical of the falsehoods propagated by RH. My original asked:

I strongly recommend that RH (if he is 'scientifically inclined' as he touts himself to be) should take the small trouble to read one or a few of the MANY sound references available dealing with the matter of "How to Quote" - e.g.:
- -- http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_quoting.html
- -- https://ilrb.cf.ac.uk/citingreferences/tutorial/quotation2.html
(There are some MMMMMillions of links available).
