Had that experience a number of times when referencing some research via a third-party retelling of it. If it seems a bit unusual I'll go and dig up the original publication, which is often a major pain when all you have is an approximate reference to a publication date some time in the 1960s and one author's surname. Way too often the paper isn't actually saying what the retelling is claiming.
