>it won't allow you to directly quote a person even though they are a well known trustworthy information source

Little known fact: That is actually allowed in some limited situations, but only reluctantly, and with a lot of care.

For instance if someone is recognized as an established researcher in their field with publications in top academic journals and then they make a statement on their website about something they have expertise in, you can actually cite that if you have no better source! Even though it's a direct self-published quote.
