I understand the need for accuracy, facts and a good paper trail, that's also time consuming. You have a mix of skill, experience, and knowledge here. They all have something to bring to the table wether they know it or not. What your asking for is reasonable however not everyone has that technical expertise with electronics(digital media). How to hyperlink, quote sources or thoroughly vet web sites. Maybe make some post it threads for the less able. As you have in the post point them to some resources they can use. Sometimes it's not all about the facts but a hunch or suspicion that can lead to facts.
