Editing Citation signal (section)

===''Cf.''===
{{main|Cf.}}
From the [[Latin]] ''confer'' ("compare"), this signals that a cited proposition differs from the main proposition but is sufficiently analogous to lend support. An explanatory parenthetical note is recommended to clarify the citation's relevance. For example, it is precisely this kind of conjecture and hair-splitting that the [[U.S. Supreme Court|Supreme Court]] wanted to avoid when it fashioned the bright-line rule in [[Miranda warning|Miranda]]. ''Cf''. ''Davis'', 512 U.S. at 461 (noting that where the suspect asks for counsel, the benefit of the bright-line rule is the "clarity and ease of application" that "can be applied by officers in the real world without unduly hampering the gathering of information" by forcing them "to make difficult judgment calls" with a "threat of suppression if they guess wrong").
