zugzwang isn't about politics or religion or pseudoscience, it's not a
biography of a living person, it generally doesn't have any controversy over
it, it isn't a popular culture topic (I suppose you could call chess popular
culture if you wanted to stretch it, but if so, then it still doesn't have
the problems of most popular culture topics).  It certainly isn't an episode
or character, and it doesn't need a spoiler warning.

In other words, it's entirely sensible for him to distrust Wikipedia in
general, yet for none of the reasons for his distrust to apply in the
particular case where he actually uses Wikipedia.

Your glee is misplaced.
