I guess that depends on what your practical purpose is!

One obviously shouldn't be using it to treat patients without verifying all the information. But I don't think a general recommendation to always verify all information for all systems is appropriate anymore.

It is for any context in which it matters if the information is correct. For example, I probably should not assign papers to my students to read that do not exist, which was the example here.
