Actually, JSWolf seems to be fairly convinced for inexplicable reasons that page numbers have a second use. Probably "figuring out how far in the book you have read so far".
In fact, he is so convinced that he is even trying to make other people agree that it is the best way. Or maybe just an awesome, amazing, wonderful way that is worthy of drowning out anyone trying to mention something else which is pretty much the same thing.

So... not just academic citations and misc. references I guess. At least according to JSWolf.
