...If you can quote at length from   The Death of Ivan Illiych people will assume you have read War and Peace, thus eliminating the need for you to actually do so. 

If you quote at length from The Death of Ivan Illiych, or for that matter any other book, people will ascertain you are a terrible bore, and there will be no need for you to continue speaking, as your interlocutors will have fled.

herein lies the great, irreconcilable schism between opeboism and Tweedism.

Yes, it is also why I'm not a bore.
