I didn't address your blood vessels analogy because I failed to see how that was relevant. But if you insist I carefully reread it and respond to just that.

'''Let me use a real life example to show you the flaw in your argument of us following other wikias. For simplicity, children in elementary school are taught arteries carry oxygen-rich blood and veins carry oxygen-poor blood. Once they reach high school, they learn that definition is mostly true, but not entirely because of the pulmonary vessels. Now, if a 2nd grader who is interested in science did more in-depth research and decides for himself that arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood to the heart while every other 2nd grader still believe the elementary definition, does that mean the one 2nd grader is wrong and his peers are right?'''

Using pulmonary articles is a completely different situation to here. That's going under the assumption young students don't even need to know that level of detail. But to apply that here that's basically saying the readers are like children and too ignorant or naive to understand that. What is so complex and extra about magic as a weakness?

'''I already addressed that point ages ago myself. The only thing worth mentioning about something that's universally harmful that is powerful enough to harm a Kryptonian is on its own page, not the Kryptonian's weakness. Simply say on the page "Magic is one of the few substances powerful enough to harm a yellow sunlight empowered Kryptonian." or something along those lines.'''

Then I'll bring up another point I made. That's like saying speedsters shouldn't have the Cold Gun listed as a weakness because it effects everyone the same way.

I already said "harmed by bullets" was common knowledge, but "magic as weakness" is not. Why would someone who's never seen the show and heard that Superman/girl is immune to everything specifically think magic can hurt them and specifically go to the Kryptonian page (which they might not even know about since not every wiki has pages for species).

I've been trying to keep civil, but calling what me and Xander said to be "fallacies" is making it difficult. Please don't do so in the future. I brought those up because they're (in my opinion) the key reasons why I stand for this point in the first place, when I feel the argument is getting side tracked.

Anyway, good luck with your studies. I'm actually going to be busy this week with assessments. I hope you come back with a refreshened mind.
