Because the internet pages are written by ordinary humans? In contrast to the gods who handed down the word and put them in a book?
Wikipedia everything.
I think it has something to do with everyone being anonymous on the interwebz, and... well, you could do stupid things to troll people like using fake information. OTOH, people writing books actually have to pay for them being print and all the shit, so they might take it a bit more seriously....
Exactly. I mean, like everyone else i search things on the internet like mad, but not historical happenings that i want to know the absolute truth about. I mean, ok i will but i wont take it as seriously as if i were to read it in a history book or something like that.
