Thread Name: BS: Conservapedia?
Subject: RE: BS: Conservapedia?
Oh,Ok.For myself I'm sometimes a Wikiwhinger which is someone who has a bit of a grumble when infallibility is implicitly ascribed to Wikipedia,Conservopedia or any other solitary source.
At one time in the world the majority thought the Earth was flat.
I have often heard variants of this claim made but the evidence is inconclusive & contradictory.
Certainly if 1 million people believe a foolish thing then it is still a foolish thing but the verifiable observations and experiences of many people help rather than hinder the pursuit of knowledge.
