Or it's the correct approach.
Not believing random strangers is very good for Wikipedia and children as
well.
If you want to assume that a stranger is what they say they are, then you
will want to spend a lot of time in Craigslist Personals to learn that people
lie quite often when there is little chance they will be "caught".
It is only by enforcing some method that makes people be responsible for
their statements that we achieve a balance between "small lies" and "big
truths".
This isn't a new concept that Wikipedia found. It's an old concept, that
we need to recognize.
