Why Answers.com is worthless

"Yahoo! Answers" and Answers.com are wiki-type websites where one can get "community-driven" answers to any question posed. Neither service guarantees accuracy. That's good because they would be sued blind if they did. On Answers.com. for example, someone asked: Did Paul Revere say the "British are coming?" A typical answer: "yes he did, there is lots of proof wikapedea." Oy. (By the way, Revere said no such thing per eye-witness accounts.)
