>Should we trust the information at face value without verifying from other sources? Of course not, that's part of the learning process. Will some (most?) people rely on it lazily without using it effectively? Certainly, and this technology won't help or hinder them any more than a good old fashioned textbook.

Not true if we make the assumption that most books from publishing houses with good reputation are verified for errors. Good books maybe dated but they don't contain made up things.
