And if not, why do you copy and paste? Do you trust someone else will be able to say 'it' better?
Are you doing this at the expense of your developing your own faculties of reasoning?
Don't you feel like you're cheating yourself or are you happy to regurgitate ideas and claim them as your own, or merely to be applauded for being able to find the 'right' quotation to match the moment?
What if it doesn't appear so 'right' to others. Can you conceive that your ability to 'match' quotes to questions (for this is what it is at its simplest level) may be flawed?.
It reminds me of English Literature classes where people tried to revise for exams by learning essays that they could apply to any question. Many of these students got poor marks for 'failing to read the question' i.e. answering a question that wasn't asked. One that THEY wanted to answer.
