It does not work well. Do you have an alternate suggestion / solution? More specifically, say for someone not (well-)versed in the subject matter of the page, who comes to the page, reads it, then attempts to use the information contained in the page but it doesn't work for him (for reasons which he believes to be related to wrong / outdated information on the page, what would you suggest he do? Nothing? Leave the same pitfall for the next reader, or At least warn that "there be dragons here"? Ideally if that person (or some other future reader of the warning about dragons) learns a little bit more, (ideally) that person would add the additional information he learns. But, what would you suggest he do?
