I would have a more benign reading of this.  We've all got limited time, 
and it's much easier to check facts in our own specialties where we know 
the literature and the appropriate web sites or even have key reference 
works on our bookshelves.  What takes 5 minutes in a familiar subject 
can easily take an hour in an unknown topic.  ... And we all would like 
to have time left to make original contributions.
