Here’s the thing: a 60-year-old humanities professor with an office full of printed books might only know one way to reference texts - but software doesn’t have to be that limited.
Why should a tool designed for flexibility insist on only one way forward? It’s much easier for software to be inclusive than to expect an entire academic tradition to adapt overnight, especially when publishers aren’t exactly making things easier either.
And at the risk of getting too philosophical: the future isn’t always one-directional.
