Academics: Have you ever BS'ed your citations?

I know that answering "yes" to this question is equal to admitting murder in academia. But I'm curious. I'm pulling an all-nighter fixing citations in my senior thesis draft, and it's so difficult to get them precisely correct when I discover new things constantly. For example, I've just discovered that I needed to use DOI/URLs for my digital book citations this whole time (Chicago style), when I've been citing them in regular book form. This is the last thing I want to go over and fix! I hate how URLs look in a draft. 

&#x200B;

I know I have to eventually, but the temptations to  not cite that a book was apart of an edition, or say that I consulted a physical book instead of a digital one, are great. (Not lazy, just overworked, not nearly as much as many of you regulars). Can anyone relate?

There's a large difference between bullshitting in-text citations that someone hasn't actually read (which is what your title implies but the subject matter does not) and not citing your sources in the correct format in the bibliography, particularly for a senior thesis. Using something like Zotero, EndNote, Mendeley, etc. helps ensure the latter doesn't happen.
