This isn't generally true in my experience. Wikipedia values secondary sources, even outright wrong secondary sources, over primary sources. It often happens that all secondary sources are wrong (for example reporting on popular personalities like Elon Musk) and the very clear and obvious interpretation of the primary source is ignored, for all of the secondary sources that twist the words of what was said.
