Suppose you're someone who has a clue.  Then you go to a website where someone
who doesn't has written lots of BS.  What do you do, given you know such a
popular website is a channel for distribution of knowledge?  a) You cross your
fingers and hope for the best of mankind; b) you troll their pages with even
more BS to bring the whole site down as a fraud; c) you actually go and edit the
article with more accurate knowledge and citations.
