::::Some people are never happy. ;-)
::::Andy wants us to value truth above all else. While I believe my personal knowledge is not the first thing I should count on, sometimes it is necessary to show what has occurred.

:::Direct personal knowledge is inferior when putting together an encyclopedia, yes. Encyclopedias are generally supposed to be filled with facts, which are, in general, verifiable. Hearsay and personal anecdotes tend not to be verifiable.
