The best source could be academia, but again to dispute the credibility of the source, how "up-to-date" are those things anyways? We're constantly refining and learning new things from previously thought-to-be-certain things from the past. It just doesn't help when certain academic research articles are months, years or even decades old.
The point being, nothing can really be considered a solid source because everything is questionable.
We have to simply trust our own judgment in matters that require evidence.

You pulled one line out of my post, so you quoted me out of context. I acknowledged that you could make the case for bias in almost any source. But if this is so, why even bother citing sources at all in support of your posts? I think the point is we have to look for sources that provide the most objective, accurate facts. And I'm not so sure an open site that can be edited by anyone with no credentials is the ideal authority in all cases.
