Amen. And so I referred to the "bias problem" and systemic warpage not any particular institutional bias. Saying bias will happen no matter what, well, we might as well be talking about auto accidents. Yes, it's inevitable, but safety counts tremendously.
I'm thinking also of that incident a couple years ago with the Wikipedia "editor" who was aggressive but had utterly bogus credentials. I'd like to know more how this is kept in check. (Part of the answer, btw, is to hire and retain good talent -- and that takes money. If they're going to fund that, kudos.)
I use Wikipedia all the time, but if I don't know much about something, presumably the most likely reason I'm looking it up, how likely am I to detect well-written nonsense?
