In fact, Don: on reflection I can't but feel that your silly argument on no·quote·admissible·without·context deserves a bit of the old reductio ad absurdum.
So tell me please: if one sentence is not enough, then how many of a context must be given before an argument from quotation is acceptable? 3 sentences? 10 sentences? 100 sentences? Nothing will do but the entire work even if it's Clarissa or War&Peace?
Oh, come on now, Don...
