Exactly. People have created countless articles, books, videos, movies and websites focusing on elephants, with no end in sight.

Actually, I've several posts where you or others said you wouldn't buy an ebook if the same information was available online.

Big difference.

You are making an assumption.

You've got to be joking. I just typed in the words bird, mammal and city. Wikipedia ranked #1, #2 and #4 or #5, respectively. I then typed in lust, China, toy, and Google ranked #1, #2, #1.
If you're using a search engine other than Google, then you will get different results, though I suspect Wikipedia is still going to rank high on the list.
I've been doing online research on a wide variety of topics for two decades, and I learned long ago that Google and Wikipedia are online vacuum cleaners.
