Well, FWIW, actually someone DID check Wikipedia's accuracy vs. Encyclopedia
Brittanica...and they had the same % of errors... Google for the right

I imagine we all make judgement calls... I doubt we (ok, I ) would
believe anything blindly, but if something *makes* sense, or comes from a
somewhat trustworthy source you would value that information more. eg, if you
go to the AUUG conference, I would imagine you would actually believe some of
the information provided there...
