First of all, you appear to feel you have the right to represent what
wikipedians
as a group dislike. That feeling is without justification.

It would furthermore be quite legitimate to say that Encycopaedia Britannica
falls well short of the requirements of neutrality that Wikipedia sets
for itself.
And yet that does not allow us to point a finger at Encyclopaedia Britannica and
say that their compendium is a ridiculous endeavour.

The world really has space enough for more than one viewpoint. And it certainly
has room for more than the "neutral viewpoint".
