A bit of a mess, and more opinion based than factual. Some do provide evidence, but they may be coming from a biased mentality. Although some are just trying to correct.

For an example if I was conducting a study on Pegasus and wanted to get the basis of it as I had no clue, it gets to the point without confusion but a good amount of detail.

Clear and concise, perfect balance of info and detail.
