      I’ve got proof that raw milk is much healthier than milk that’s been heated for just a little bit. But, sigh, unfortunately you won’t believe any article I link you. Your mind is darkened and cannot perceive my ideas. A shame.

      For real though, why on god’s green earth would you link the philip roth complaint? Encyclopedias are not a primary source for anything, you don’t publish new information to them.

        My spoiler was in response to “I’d need much more specific evidence before dismissing it”, so my evidence would be dismissed anyway.

        You do actually publish new relevant information to enciclopedias, that’s why they created new editions in time when they were printed on paper.

        My initial point was and still is, wikipedia devours itself due to editors and their egos.
