Reminds me of people being up in arms when Wikipedia turned up because anyone could contribute. Seems like the same thing is still happening.

Wikipedia works since the world is full of pedantic sticklers. If you remove the pedantic sticklers then wikipedia would no longer work, it would just be full of bias or bullshit, so we should be thankful for all the pedantic sticklers out there.
It is quite similar, isn't it? To say that a potentially flawed source of information is worthless is a silly extreme.
