“If it’s not correct in context A it shouldn’t be correct in context B which is almost exactly opposite to what context A looks like”

I mean, the point was that if it is not okay to cite just a full book in a context where the communication is a lot slower, text is a lot longer, there’s an expectation of reading a lot more and so on, then why would it be okay in an online argument where the communication is a lot quicker, texts a lot shorter and you aren’t expected to read at all as much.

To put it in simpler terms: If you shouldn’t assume that someone is going to read a whole book for a citation in your thesis, why would you expect that from someone reading a random internet argument?
