• Hardly a loophole - Wikipedia’s greatest strength is as an aggregator of reliable information, and using Wikipedia’s sources is how people SHOULD use it. They just taught you how to use it.

      Damn, this is genious. My future kids are going to learn so much cool stuff branded as “loopholes”.

          That is a nice one! Brb, going to internalize it for my own sake the theoretical children.

        It’s basic research and writing. You should absolutely teach your kids common sense practices.

          My SO is a little scared I will push too much information on them (I have a degree in geek), so I thought more of the pedagogic value of calling something a loophole/hack/cheat etc…

      • Schools aren’t with it. I was told in the 90s that cursive was the future. We had already progressed beyond word processors and they are having us learn fucking loopy letters.

        Uni wasn’t much better. Found myself over thirty years behind industry when I got out.

          I think it might depend on the field of study and location, but schools are often a little on the conservative side. Even so “loopholes” as best practices is arguably even better.
