More precisely: on any controversial topic, *somebody* (usually a lot of them) will argue that the topic is not factually correct. On many subjects, one person's "objective" is another person's "mendacious lie".
Britannica, in its heyday, was authoritative primarily because they had "freedon of the press" and challengers didn't.
Wikipedia, however, exists on the internet, a medium where everybody's worldview has to coexist with everybody else's.
