Caveat emptor still applies. People shouldn't

True, but until the recent Nature comparison study,
Wikipedia had been plagued both by an external
anecdotal criticism fad and by an equally baseless
internal inferiority complex disguised as
'establishing stability.' (Wherefore art thou,
Wikifaith?)
For those who still think Wikipedia's overall quality
is lacking, setting sights on Britannica was (in 20/20
hindsight) setting the sights too low.
