I am doing an assignment for QM and have to give 3 reasons why electron classically spinning doesn't make sense.  

I've looked through like 20 books, as it's supposed to be cited.  Like 10 of them don't give a reason, 8 of them give the reason and it's an awesome reason, and the other 2 give another reason and it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.  

No third reason anywhere.  

It's also kind of annoying to see the same few lines in every book.  
Is it because electrons are fundamental particles and as such can't have a forward defined? Or can fundamental particles have a non uniform shape/property?

That's weird that the books would use the same lines but I guess it makes sense. Probably all just rephrasing the same original source.
