And I agree with the remainder of your post.
I also find it mildly ironic than in a post where the poster seems to lament the falling standards of students, two of us at least can't even tell what students the poster is talking about.

If I remember it was a science magazine and it looked at scientific subjects and it found 8 major errors in each but more minor errors in Wiki.
The biggest complaint was the organization of the articles. Encyclopedia Britannica contests the study, FWIW.
