I have found a number of mistakes posted by this «Thinks they know it all» whom I had to correct on at least one occasion, such as the correct French-language translation for the word related to Speaking, but it's clear to anybody who does their homework when someone else hasn't done their homework and I am too busy with other matters these days to bother responding anyway (this post is only being a rare momentary exception).

I actually haven't bothered to use Google for literally years & years & years to search for anything. People also don't seem to know about astroturfing. Seriously, I used to think I was smart by going to some product-review site, but it turned out that those review sites were also propped up by those selling their product, and, like Wolfsinger described, getting the real review-information was apparently buried down like at least sixty pages down exposing the product/company as a scam... I actually wasn't privvy back then to the deceptive practice of social-engineering via astro-turfing... a method used to convince you to buy into their product or information... (and there was a very interesting book I read long ago authored by Margaret Thaler Singer titled... Cults in Our Mindst: The Hidden Menace in Our Everyday Lives). According to that book on cults, apparently, even Presidents aren't immune to falling prey to cult-influence, not to scare anyone or anything (even though All Hallow's Eve is nearing).
Lastly, I always found it a bizarre use of one's logical-faculties that, just because some information came from one particular source or another, that it automatically becomes true or false just because the source said so. Let's put it another way : Well, what is quoted in this thread's title is one thing, but can it also not be said that... «Anybody can read a book and say that it's true» or «Anybody can go to the library and say it's true» or how about even «Anybody can watch something on TV and say it's true» and maybe we could even take it so far as to claim that «Mr. X said it so it must be true» (appeal-to-authority fallacy) but if the same thing were said by Mr. Y and the masses like Mr. X but not Mr. Y they would end up saying «Mr. Y said it so it can't possibly be true (reverse-appeal-to-authority fallacy as-if who said a particular thing makes it true or not [«Mr. X said that 2+2 = 5 so it must be true because he said it !» in contrast to «Mr. Y said that 2+2=4 so we know that it's false to claim that 2+2=4 because he said it!»]). I once had some neighbours who said that their grandma was always right... always (and it turned out that she wasn't wrong on anything that I tested her on either [home-schooling FTW!]).
