True and I consider that a monopoly. Just like the closed source people
used to call OS s/w more prone to attacks. Only in the case of information
there is no check as of date. How can one be sure that what is published in
a journal or an encyclopedia is true and correct? For journals its peer
review, which is actually much much rigorous in case of Wiki. Encyclopedias
- I;m not sure, but even they are just compilation by a few people nothing
as broad as the Wiki. In fact neither of them give any disclaimer as to
which information might be questionable, where as Wiki does that too. So,
anyways we are digressing.
