Did anyone else find the banner at the top of the article (about preferring secondary and tertiary sources to primary ones) more interesting (about the problems with wikipedia) than the article itself?

The problem that Wikipedia adopts standards from modern evidence-based medicine?
It's better to read a meta-analysis from Cochrane (which is a secondary source) than reading various papers that make statements about what a drug did that might not replicate.
