Yes, it's interesting.  I thought at the time of the Nature article that the 
main point was not that Wikipedia did well, but that B did badly.

Anyway, I'm sure we want to console  the EB folks.  After all, we're all in 
the same business.  We should send them some pleasant message, sympathising 
with the unpleasant, picky results of that survey.  Something short and to 
the point, like the words "watch" and "Swiss".
