My interest in Wikipedia stems from the snapshot impression that many, many people have either decided or been persuaded that any process that can change published information so very publicly and democratically MUST, by definition, be flawed and thus dangerous. My gut response to this impression I have about general distrust of Wikipedia is that this is wrong. Sausages and politics share much with academe and intelligence gathering and analysis. Honest enquiry does not mean, and likely cannot mean, that answers will ever be revealed. Frames of reference change, new information comes to light, either through reframing the questions, or changes in the scale & sensitivity of information gathering. Feedback loops that are too long to grasp easily can be pulled into focus or new ways of contemplating suspected loops will emerge, through faster analysis techniques, or standing on the shoulders of others working on the same questions.
