Unstable losing strategy, and I'm talking mathematically. Over all the best is trust everyone until they are proven untrustworthy once.

Also, one very good thing about wikipedia, if you in any way think the article is misleading, is the "discussion" tab - which will usually inform you of any and all dissenting opinions on the subject.
Unless it's a completely obscure piece of arcane trivia...

As an informed person, this is fine, but the undereducated masses are what concern me. Even people with a 'good' education on paper are often lacking outside of their particular field and fall prey to what sounds good and they are told is correct. If one does not understand the controversy they wouldn't look for it.
Edit: Hehe looking at the page, apparently the higher ups are not happy this made the national press. On the other hand if I knew nothing of the controversy I wouldn't be sure what all the hubbub was about reading that page.
