I readily admit I haven't even read the content in this case. I am just attacking the source: most of the times I have read their content on a subject that I am familiar with, it has been grossly misleading.

They definitely could be correct on this topic. I'm not familiar enough with it to say. However, I want to strongly encourage everybody to verify with other sources instead of lending this one even the credibility you'd give Wikipedia.

Yeah, but RationalWiki isn't an encyclopedia and doesn't pretend to have the claims of objectivity that Wikipedia has, opting for a Snarky Point of View policy instead of a Neutral POV, and is consequently critical of ideas it believes has a pseudo-scientific vibe. It was born in response to Conservapedia, and in its mission statement it intends to "explore fundamentalism and authoritarianism", whereas NRx has a neo-fascist appeal.

I picked that article because it seemed much more comprehensive than that of Wikipedia.
