I entirely agree. They are intended to be good (and are for the most part), but they obviously don't know their stuff really well. Of course, then you get people that trust the article and take it as written law. Think Art Spinella.

I know I always try to take everything with a grain of salt and always question 'why?', or 'does that make sense?' when I read things. It really keeps your eyes open and its amazing what you'll find. Us enthusiasts are usually way more knowledgable about things than the average journalist. Heck, a lot of us know more about our own cars than the mechanics that work on them too.
