  Wrong in two different ways: - this tends to approximate consensus. - Wikipedia does care, and has a policy on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Scientific_consensus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Scientific_consensus

      That’s like arguing that “forming a queue at the store” is not an official policy. The document outlines normative / prescriptive approaches that are followed in practice.
