I read articles about NBA trades, news and stats a the time and haven't watched a game this season due to no TV/wifi.

Its not the same as watching games.

The analogy works if you assume everything I read was written by 11 year olds.

This works until someone starts quoting famous lines from a book and you've never read it before. Then you are outed.

Bullshit, but people still shit on wikipedia far too readily. It's an excellent source, and I know few people that didn't hand in at least a few papers at uni that cited the sourced cited by wikipedia. If only because of the professor's dogmatic insistence that the only thing you're allowed to read is peer-reviewed literature, and NOT Wikipedia!!!
