| Dec 11, 2014 at 15:38 | comment | added | Oddthinking Mod | @Konrad: I sometimes avoid their articles that have inadequate references (or explicitly call out their weakness), but if seems to be a minority. I certainly agree that Snopes can be a false authority and their claims need to be verified, because it says so on Snopes! | |
| Dec 11, 2014 at 10:04 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph Mod | Snopes is incidentally not a great example of sceptical inquiry. Many of their articles lack adequate references and are entirely opaque to double-checking (as Sklivvz has noticed himself). Linking to them is in many instances a pure appeal to authority, which worries me. | |
