Uh. There was a source provided: 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica.

I wouldn't call that more reliable, but it's still as valid a source as Wikipedia.

The 1911 Britannica is not the source provided. The source is a hypothetical entry in an encyclopedia that most people don't have. That is not as valuable a source as Wikipedia because I cannot easily verify that the 1911 Britannica corroborates the facts in this email.

The text of the whole 1911 Britannica is just one Google away:

Just because you are lazy and unwilling to verify the source doesn't mean it's not a source.

You're right -- my mistake. I missed that somehow.
