This is where library research comes in. We have to try to make sure we are not passing on misinterpretations. If you want to cite something that Author B has paraphrased from a paper by Author A, then you really should find the original paper. How do you know Author B really understood what Author A wrote? So, it's our job to double-check. If you can't get Author A's paper, then cite '(Author A cited in Author B)' to show you have to rely on Author B's interpretation.
