[WikiEN-l] Toronto Star quote with (sic)

The Toronto Star has an article which very briefly mentions Wikipedia:
http://paul.ca/u/2b57

'According to wikipedia.org, "A weblog is kind of a continual tour, with a
human guide who (sic) you get to know."'

It's good that Wikipedia is prominent enough that it can be quoted briefly
without a description.

On the other hand, what's with the (sic)?  Is the author picking on the
'who' vs 'whom' distinction?  And the quote is from a quote, and it was
attributed to Wikipedia, and not Dave Winer, who is quoted.
