Most scientific results are made available online for verification by a separate entity.
The speed and availability of the data is invaluable.

You know, the original purpose of the internet.

Thanks for the new meme OP.

>Wikipedia
>Already had that shit in book form and it was more trustworthy and accurate
Wikipedia has a vastly broader scope and is far more widely used than traditional encyclopaedias. Trying to downplay its cultural significance is silly.

Wikipedia is invaluable for poor countries where there are only small or no libraries. You only need a phone to acces it and you can learn and become the guy who cures cancer because you had acces to information from your dirt road village, it doesnt matter if it is 100℅correct. It gives you access to information of which would be otherwise closed from you.
