3 The request to answer in detail or explain or justify or give references should be interpreted to mean provide more than mere reference to source and summaries of conclu-sions.

Actual reproduction of critical portions of the source should be provided and the bases for conculsions should be explained.

While PSAR and E.R.. references are helpful, they are'not normally source but merely summary.

The request for detail should be interpreted in light of the practical objective of avoiding lengthy cross-examination.

The more data produced now, the less that will have to be elicited in further discovery and cross-examination.
