I wonder how true this is.

Perhaps I'll be laughed out of court... but my tendency when I read
Wikipedia is that I see a sentence in an article, note that it is
referenced, click the number to see what the reference is but *hardly*
*ever* click the reference link either to confirm that the reference
is accurate nor to find out more.
