Thanks for providing a direct link to the dissent itself. It’s only 9 pages.

I have noticed "old school" journalists seldom do lengthy direct quotes from documents, even official, public source documents.

My suspicion is, before cut and paste, long direct quotes were a lot of work and so not doing them became an ingrained habit.

I realize it is a slightly relevant subject to your link comment.
