I understand how it works in theory - but since I find most of my multiple sources all actually cite the same source (say 18 books that cite the same original source), I find i use this very little since I prefer to go back to the original source - and hopefully later be able to obtain the documentation for myself.
There may be times it is useful... I just haven't found it.
