POSSIBLE DISCUSSION POINT 2: Perhaps someone can explain WHY anyone would consult a place like Wiki if they didn't WANT TO KNOW something they didn't already understand.

There again, if you want knowledge, why consult Wiki?
It's a good starting point, but a large dose of salt is required.
Wikipaedia often seems to be a construct of conjecture and opinion. Verified facts are often lacking.   (Hmmm... sounds familiar!)
