Is that why the standard for Wikipedia is
verifiability, and not truth?
A statement of objective truth concerning subjective matters is beyond
the capacity of mere humans. Verifiability from reasonably reliable
sources is the closest approximation we can muster, in the quest for a
neutral overview of the view of a given topic from 20,000 feet.
Wikiversity should have a course on this. The more Wikipedians you can
convince of this line of thinking, the greater the chance of reaching your
goals.
