If you propose to sit on the correct information for an indefinite period, the least you can do is accept that people will use what is actually available to them in the meantime.

Progress is good. No worries.

Suppose if you ask and get correct Ju 88 info but choose ignore and
and re-use 1960s William Green instead. That would probably ruin
the authors reputation, if publicly known, right?

So I strongly disagree. Do not write same sh..* over and over, please.

So far have I answered all queries asked, so not "sitting on" correct info (sic) but just my research resaults. Not commenting if not certain or if my answers can be exploited by scrupilous people throwing 700 Euros after blurry photo, and then ask for info, but not showin what they got in first place. So you get nothing for nothing.

What an odd perspective. I've seen a few examples of people trying to correct others or claiming to have better information, but little comes of it.
Progress and putting well-documented information out there should be the goal, not berating persons unknown. Or books from the past.

One problem with the internet is that total amateurs can publish books. People with no experience or who have done no original research.
Print books are not immune. I made the mistake of buying a book that violated every rule of graphic design and those of proper layout.
It was terrible in terms of content as well. My years working for a book publishing company meant I had to know the rules.
I have been called in by the head graphic designer to solve various problems. Problems that cannot be solved by watching a few videos or 5 minutes on the internet.

My point is: The learning time will never be shortened. It does not go away.
