Google and other search engines like Wikipedia are great tools. They give us information when the search terms are right. We could only have wondered at this kind of ease of information at a public library's card catalogues eons ago. Ah, those days holding those boxes with all kinds of arcane knowledge!

And yet as helpful as it is, the whole picture cannot be given in a quick look at a search term, or even groups of terms. Research is not  for the faint-hearted and it still goes on by very serious people, who then submit papers and work for peer review and appropriate criticism. And there is plenty of criticism. No one researches a subject with any claim to being serious and expects to hear an angel's choir. It doesn't happen in the two areas where I have done research, Nursing and Law. What you are really attempting is to give a snapshot of what is happening out there, hoping to elucidate and educate. Other times we are just hoping to expand our own knowledge with the principle,

It's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.
