Be careful what you wish for... "Tell the truth but tell it slant" remains good advice when trying to teach; nothing is less helpful than a book whose every statement is so qualified, footnoted, and detailed as to be incomprehensible.

There is a narrow line of taste between "gratuitously wrong" statements and "statements simplified to explain the larger point". And do you trust an army of internet holier-than-thou's to accept this and limit itself to one side of that line?

Different disciplines require different behavior. But, for example, teaching physics is an endless series of ever better approximations. You get nowhere by starting teaching with: OK, Newton's laws (but invalid for fast, and small, and gravity, and ...)

I understand the point you are going for, and medicine/biology is not nearly as severe as physics in this regard. But I think my point is generic: competitive unqualified "error checking" of everything everywhere will not end in a better informed public.
