I even took the trouble to copy and paste but change a word so it looked like it was the only place I checked to the unsuspecting but with the alteration as proof I'd been scheming ahead of time. I subtly replaced 'named' with 'called' so you wouldn't notice. Go ahead and check.
I thought I'd get challenged, but I couldn't have imagined I'd have 3 of you take the bait! It's so funny you even literally called me out on copying and pasting from Wikipedia! To be fair, who would have suspected I'd be so tedious as to set up something like that.
I've not seen anybody be told how to think, what a weird thing to worry about. Some people could do with basic lessons on fact checking though, particularly if they don't want to put themselves in situations where they feel they are being patronised and getting peed off.
If you think I'm gullible for things I read online, I'll gladly be called out upon it and wind in said neck. Better luck next time.
Edit: Also, you seem to think Wikipedia isn't a credible source of information, but it certainly can be. Reading it blindly is a bad idea, but everything contains references that make most claims easy to verify.
