Nonsense. That seems to be a popular preconception, makes one look more ‘academic’ to dismiss Wikipedia immediately. Let’s talk about the matters, and the actual content of that article, and not dismiss a valuable source of information on beforehand. And then if it is the case, you can always state that according to you the contents of that Wikipedia article is incorrect. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
