Well, I can understand your grudge here to some degree, because I've experienced similar situations at Wikipedia before, were a majority (which is not even the case with Zlatiborian, btw) was supporting some standpoint that was utter nonsense from a scientific perspective. And I thought (note: thought!): "How can anyone be that ignorant?"

However, it is an essential feature of all Wikimedia projects that they are not closed circles for some academics but open projects were everybody is free to participate as long as they obey certain rules. Of course, that doesn't mean that we don't strive for the highest possible degree of scientific accuracy but it necessarily implies that discussions sometimes take a slightly different course than they would within a scientific community. I think everybody who has been participating here for a while is aware of that - and the good news is: in the long run, "the truth" almost always prevails. No need to question the project altogether, I think.
