Surely inventing quotes is not fair game here?

The quote marks indicate that the text is a paraphrase; Lloyd Wood re-
states the meaning, or a possible interpretation, of the text, likely
to illustrate a problem with the text. This is a common discourse tech-
nique and should be entirely obvious; nothing unfair about it.


No ***ing way.  Drafts say what they say, and recasting them in other words
and putting quotes around the transmogrified version is completely out of
bounds.

The quality of this discussion would be greatly improved if it were to
refocus on what the draft actually asserts and proposes.
