Oh say what is truth?

[UtahDan]

Here is a very interesting article from the Washington Post that Barbara will like a lot. It surrounds that idea that with the ascendence of Wiki that truth has become a collective judgment rather than something measured objectively. When you do a search on google and find the Wiki entry first, you have a decent probability of getting the right answer, but you also might get something totally wrong.

The reason I posted this in the religion section is that it immediately made me wonder whether there is a "wiki" within the church, or in our culture or online that reflects a collective judgment that is usually right but not infrequently wrong. I wonder this because I have known all kinds of things that just weren't so when I looked at them closely then wondered where I got the idea in the first place and couldn't remember. Is it the rumor mill? Is it testimony meetings? Is it CSE? What do people think?
