In a way perhaps.  I'd really like an example :)
I'm SURE you have an example.  Usually people only come here *after*  they've 
encountered some specific problem like "Tori Amos", but they don't want  to 
admit they've been slumming.
 
It's true.  For some articles we have to work in a stilted manner ESP  if 
those articles are heavily edited and monitored.  But that doesn't have  to 
make 
our work worse.  In fact I think it can make it better by *forcing*  editors 
to really dig in and find those sources, instead of relying on  meandering 
language, judgment, memory and hyperbole ;)
