The essential problem is: we can't absolve the reader of the
responsibility to think about what they read. Readers who think they
should be absoved of this responsibility are the core of the
"Wikipedia is unreliable!" argument. We can only do our best to be as
good as we can - thinking for those who won't or can't is a bit much
to ask.
