I think this explanation misses the case when someone is ''factually'' wrong on the internet, and doesn't just have a different opinion. For example, when someone on Facebook "discovers" that the Mercator map projection is "wrong" and that the "true" one is Gall-Peters (true story), I believe even Randall would feel the need to say something. But of course, the border between factual errors and arguing is very thin...

Doesn't look like anyone's touched this during its spotlight as the Incomplete Article of the Day. But really, what else can we say? 199.27.128.66 03:06, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
