You can find the links. Look up any random fact that you know for certain from an authoritative non-Wiki source. Whatever. The chemistry of a match. The boiling point of menthol. The tensile strength of an aluminum alloy. Life span of a box turtle. Keep it up and report the inaccuracies you find. The truth is I do this all the time and don't find a pattern of errors. I've yet to find a wrong molecular weight, chemical CAS number, incorrect algorithm, incorrect explanation for a methodology, anything. Maybe blue rhinos are hiding in my underwear, but I should be able to pull one out once in a while if they are that common. I will say that no authority, human or penned documentation, can demonstrate truth simply with links. I've been posting on the Internet since Usenet days - people argue that black paint dries white, or vice versa. You can show them dried paint samples and they will explain that it is all trick. Don't even get me started about Apollo hoaxers. I did find the following link which I have some anecdotal reasons to believe is true: arstechnica.com
