<LordHydronium> OK, this I just don't get: "Though the paragraph is sourced, the statement itself is not; it is OR due to no examples being described."
<LordHydronium> The source covers the statement.
<Jedi_Goodwood> The statement is blatant OR.
<LordHydronium> It literally says that.
<LordHydronium> No, it's canon.
<LordHydronium> I'm directly paraphrasing from the book.
<Jedi_Goodwood> Paraphrasing, or quoting? There is a difference.
<LordHydronium> Paraphrasing. Quoting would be plagiarism.
<Jedi_Goodwood> Fine. The way you /paraphrase/ it makes it blatant OR.
<LordHydronium> How can it be OR when it's repeating what the source says?
<LordHydronium> Here, let me transcribe the source.
<LordHydronium> "During the Clone Wars, warship design technology improved in leaps and bounds as engineers on both sides sought desperately to create bigger, faster, more heavily-armed and armored vessels."
<Jedi_Goodwood> Indeed. I stand by my statement.
<LordHydronium> I'm sorry, but your statement is incorrect.
<Jedi_Goodwood> Then cite examples.
<LordHydronium> It can't be original research if it's canon.
<LordHydronium> The source doesn't give any.
<Jedi_Goodwood> Cite examples from other canon sources.
<LordHydronium> Well, the Victory. Which I then talk about.
<LordHydronium> But your OR objection is simply...incorrect.
<Jedi_Goodwood> And Venator. How about some CIS ships, then?
<LordHydronium> I don't know how else to put it.
<LordHydronium> We don't know those were created because of that philosophy.
<LordHydronium> Now you're asking me to add OR.
<Jedi_Goodwood> Not if you cite them properly, it isn't.
<LordHydronium> It is cited.
<Jedi_Goodwood> No no, I mean if you cite the CIS examples.
<Jedi_Goodwood> IIRC, much of the source material for Lira came out before Ep. III, right?
<LordHydronium> It's OR to say they're part of that philosophy.
<Jedi_Goodwood> I'm not sure if it is or not. However, there's surely a way to phrase that statement so it isn't OR.
<Jedi_Goodwood> Perhaps cite the statement with a footnote that says that this is how it's stated in the canon source?
<LordHydronium> It's not OR. It can't be OR if it's not original.
<LordHydronium> That's what a footnote means.
