No. Quality is not determined by sources. Sources do lie.
When you want quality, you seek sources where they matter most. It is not by going for "all" of them
I completely agree with you that many sources can be flawed. I may have neglected the term "trustworthy" before "sources" and added it in the Wikidata project chat. The IEG proposal will also include an investigation phase to select a set of authoritative sources, see the first task in the proposal work package: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Val...
I'll expand on this.
Cheers,
