For academic research, these "quotation" policies are a real hindrance to getting actual research done. So often, even when reading directly from research papers (cognitive science, neuroscience adjacent) Claude Opus makes shit up - so a quotation is needed to figure out where claude's claim is from. So when you ask for quotations, it spends nearly 1/3 of it's tokens trying figure out how much it can and can't quote. And it still winds up being wrong.
