It allows you to scratch the surface in a way that makes you feel like you know something while in fact you don't know anything. It works for easier subjects such as the natural sciences when you don't really have to care about the science behind them but to recommend wikipedia for humanities or history is just wrong.

Incorrect. It provides a pretty basic conversational level of understanding for just about everything. I'm not saying it replaces more formal study but it does put pretty much anything on tap.
