That doesn't follow. It is one possible outcome with a small
number of
readers. But many, if not more, who came here looking for information
they didn't get elsewhere, will read it as a "_major_ clue" that the
article is not reliable, and that they should look elsewhere for the
information. Unless they have the habit of writing fixing things in a
site is not a natural reaction. Putting pointless tags is far more natural.
