Anyone here agree that Britannica is as inaccurate as Wikipedia?

Brittanica has a lot of inaccurracies.For example,it stated that medieval European was reckless fighting with no complex strategies and formations.But the History Channel and experts on the Middle Ages stated that complex formations and strategies were chiefly used in the middle ages!Here is another example of Brittannica`s inaccurracies.In Brittannica`s biography of the Filipino freedmon fighter Jose Rizal,Brittannicca stated that once Jose Rizal was executed,the Filipinos gave up any hope of liberation from the Spanish.But Filipino history textbooks state that once Jose Rizal was executed,the Filipinos started another revolt and Filipino nationalism rose tremendously!Another inaccuracy of Brittannica is that it stated martial arts are only Asian combat systems.But the History Channel TV Shiw Human Weapon showed episodes about martial arts around the world,including European martial arts such as Savate!Anyone here agree that Britannica is as inaccurate as Wikipedia?
