Plagiarism Excuse # 22...

"My well-meaning effort to write a book accessible to a lay audience through the omission of footnotes or endnotes -- in contrast to the practice I have always followed in my scholarly writing -- came at an unacceptable cost: my failure to attribute some of the material the Weekly Standard identified," Tribe wrote.

Should I plagiarize that the next time I need to come up with an excuse for plagiarizing?
