tp06 the accuracy of online encyclopedias

The lecture apparently refutes the point illustrated in the reading material. According to the professor, It is noticeable that encyclopedias are never perfect, yet the small price we pay is worth it. On the contrary, the reading contends the opposite stands that communal online encyclopedias contain several problems that make them less valuable.

The first point the professor uses to cast doubt on the reading is that there is no doubt that authors cannot avoid errors, and traditional encyclopedias are mostly never close to perfect. However, online websites are more liable to be corrected, by contrast, the errors in traditional forms might stay there for decades, which differs from the statement in the reading that the untrained editors will be downright inaccurate in several cases and make the online encyclopedias lack academic credentials.

Another evidence the speaker adopts to contradict the passage is that setting the website as the founders are the only ones allowed to change the information or hire particular editors to edit or adjust the web pages. However, the reading states that online encyclopedias allow unscrupulous users and vandals or hackers to edit the information on the platforms and decrease the accuracy of the encyclopedia.

In conclusion, the point made in the lecture contrasts with what is presented in the reading. As the professor claims, there is limited space for traditional encyclopedias to provide information so that the author ought to fit the restricted notes for people's interest, on the contrary, there is a great variety of space to place researches on online encyclopedias, which is the most intensive advantage over the traditional form, whereas the reading material holds that the online website focuses too frequently on popular topics and creates a false impression of what is essential.
