I think that's a bit of a slap in the face to those who have freely spent a
lot of their time creating and editing the material in the Wiki for the
benefit of other Elecraft users. Wikis are widely used as *the*
documentation source for many open source projects. Editors and peer
reviewers ensure that any incorrect information doesn't stay very long. If
it works for software I don't see why it can't work for Elecraft radios.

Presumably you seldom or never believe anything written on personal websites
either, since there is even less control or expert review of the content
than there is in a Wiki. (I've seen some complete nonsense written about
propagation, to name just one example.)
