I think the main problem is the posted document referring to sources without giving even the title of the papers it refers to. Only a link, nothing else. This a very non-standard way to use references.

I've taken flack for writing footnoted HN & G+ posts, even Mastodon toots. I can take the flack.

Bibliographic citations emerged for reasons. Those reasons. remain.
