Susan,
You are so right about things being misquoted. When I did my dissertation, I had to find the *original* articles (because of the type of analysis and some went back to the 1940's) and I couldn't just refer to literature reviews and what they said (which would have been acceptable to my committee wrt the older articles). This was a psych study, btw.
It floored me how absolutely convoluted study results became over time, as they were quoted, then slightly misquoted, then, eventually barely resembled the original findings. It shocked me, and cranked up my "don't believe everything you hear/read" meter significantly.
