Micheal T. Hurley; Kenton V. Smith. “8”. I Solemnly Swear. p. 128. ISBN0-595-29947-4. "Circular reporting occurs when what is reported is fed back to the originator in revised fashion which makes it difficult to objectively view the end product until you can trace back the sources to determine where the original information actually came from.
