An encyclopdeia is still an authority, and while it would be useful<br>
from the sender's perspective ("Hi! I'm clippy, and I noticed you're<br>
sending something that is counter-documented in the latest wikipedia.<br>
Do you have sources? Are you sure? Yes/No") it doesn't help from<br>
the reader's perspective, who may be looking for answers to questions<br>
that currenly have no official answers.<br>
<br>
I.e. Galileo would not have been helped by old twitter fact checking.<br>
