It is interesting and instructive that the hardback edition's original documented source in the endnotes is an anti-Mormon message board. The author uses this to document the quote from Hinckley. Why would a "comprehensive," and "detailed" history, a "scholarly" work (all adjectives used to describe this book, on the back cover), document a quote from a Church leader using an anti-Mormon message board, instead of using direct original sources? | It is interesting and instructive that the hardback edition's original documented source in the endnotes is an anti-Mormon message board.

Answer
It is interesting and instructive that the hardback edition's original documented source in the endnotes is an anti-Mormon message board. The author uses this to document the quote from Hinckley. Why would a "comprehensive," and "detailed" history, a "scholarly" work (all adjectives used to describe this book, on the back cover), document a quote from a Church leader using an anti-Mormon message board, instead of using direct original sources?
