To cognoscenti, the mere mention of the source as one's analects obviates the need for sic, since such is assumed.

The cognoscenti expect quotes from unreliable sources?

"Call me irresponsible - call me unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibis bore you
Well I'm not too clever - I just adore you

Call me unpredictable - tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible - yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true - I'm irresponsibly mad for you"

~Frank Sinatra (and Father Steve)
