Means ''I havn’t read it, so I’ll just make this next bit up…''.

''Controversial'' means ''I don't like it, but cannot figure out quite why''.

''Arguably'' means ''I'm afraid you'll argue this point, so I'll say arguably in hopes I can slip it by.''

===The wisdom of the editors===
*''Certainly there is such a thing as false knowledge.'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Epistemology&diff=88088615&oldid=88009720]
*''[[Why I Am Not a Christian]]'' is a "Non-notable essay, no assertion of notability" and although Russell "is apparently notable himself" - [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Why I Am Not a Christian|it should be deleted]].
