Actually I don't know that the question is rhetorical.  There is the 
hidden assumption: EB is the universal encyclopedia (for 
English-language readers).  There must be ways of running a reference 
website for money that drop the comprehensiveness and timeliness (WP's 
major strengths) as the central ambitions.
