How do you figure, Jellby?

I don't mean to be argumentative... but I totally do not see where you're coming from on this issue.

It seems to me page numbers make perfect sense, since the citations refer to specific editions... not just the abstract notion of a book by a certain author with certain content.

Those who have access to good libraries can check citations with complete ease, those who do not have to work a bit harder but should still be able to manage. Academics, the intended target audience, are likely to fall into the former category. So... all is as it should be... no?
