The passage and the lecture offer two opposing views on the value and trustworthiness of online communal encyclopedias. While the text lists the argument to prove that online encyclopedias are neither trustworthy nor valuable, the professor contradicts those arguments by giving specific reasons.
First and foremost, according to the text, the contributors of the online encyclopedias lack academic credentials which result in inaccuracy and frequent errors. However, the professor notes that even the offline encyclopedias are not accurate. Moreover, the errors in online encyclopedias can be noticed and rectified quite fast while mistakes made in printed encyclopedias can stay there for decades.
Secondly, the passage posits that the online encyclopedias are vulnerable to hackers. On the other hand, the professor notes that online encyclopedias have developed strategies to fight these unscrupulous users. Primarily, it involves putting crucial facts and information in read-only mode and assigning the job of monitoring all the changes made to special editors. These special editors eliminate the malicious changes made on the encyclopedia.
Finally, the text asserts that communal encyclopedias give deep importance to a trivial and popular topic which might be perplexing for the reader. Whereas, the professor argues that printed encyclopedias have limited space so it is essential to make the decision of selecting a small number of topics from a wide variety of material available while there is no such problem with online encyclopedias. So communal encyclopedias represent a greater diversity of user interest when compared to traditional encyclopedias.
