So your argument is basically "since it's not perfect, it shouldn't exist" aka Nirvana fallacy.

Concerning doing your own research, are you reading all research paper on all topics in the world? Or do you sometimes rely on an authority or scientific consensus, exactly as Wikipedia does?

I have never said Wikipedia shouldn't exist. I said you shouldn't trust Wikipedia on contentious issues.

If you had wanted suggestions for gradual improvement, I'd say wikipedia would be better with a "high stakes" template to a lot of pages, with blunt language about idiots fighting over defining the objective Wikipedia position on issues.
