Yes, I agree, the article (and encyclopaedia analogy) seemed fine,
close enough. That doesn't mean I agree with every sentence, it means
that I don't see anything irresponsible. That's all that should be
asked.
The criticisms on this one, so far, seem well within the bounds of "if
YOU want to say THAT then write your own ^%$*%# article!" :-)
I think after everything it's incumbent upon us to find substantive
criticisms, such as pure misquotes or seemingly willful or badly
misguided misrepresentations, or to sit on our hands.
(Obviously I am not attempting to verify everything that's claimed in
the article, such as exact funding figures or whether or not Gore
actually said the quote included.)
