I believe they were asking how long until the incorrect facts in the book show up on wikipedia using the book as a notable reference to prop them up.

Basically, biography claims he is a Lizard Man. Wikipedia is updated "Jeff Bezos, noted reptilian[1] ..."

[1]This book

And then no one argues with it.

Ahhhh, now we begin to glimpse that asking for published information over first person information leads down the path of wikipedia becoming a reference of published works rather that an encyclopedia. Not everything that is useful knowledge for mankind is published, and not everything that is published is useful for mankind. I think I can finally word what's been nagging me. Thank you.
