In the same way as any encyclopedia that's not deliberately whimsical (in which case its general utility of obtaining knowledge may be more limited than, those multi-tome things or, well, Wikipedia).
- freepor 7y agoBut the best encyclopedia, Brittanica, had flights of whimsy. Sentences like "Bostonians are incorrigible jaywalkers." Wikipedia killed Brittanica, and ultimately is far more valuable to the world, but I miss those sentences in Brittanica.
