True - academics use footnotes like a hack furniture carpenter uses nails - a true furniture carpenter will use dovetails and glue. Good non-fiction authors use references and if they are really good, not many. Book sales are fine but the true measure are citations.
If you ever meet an author, don't ask how many books have been sold, ask how many citations they hold.
