> Yeah, it doesn't seem like very good argumentation to cite a source while taking the exact opposite viewpoint from the one substantiated in said source.

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm. I’ve accidentally done what OP has done. I‘d read an article with a useful and clear argument, and then later when I came across a relevant discussion, I‘d try to find that article. Yet in the search process I unfortunately end up not finding the original, and in my haste end up linking to the wrong article with the wrong argument(s).
