Authority vs. Truth

Wired 13.06: START:

"Disobey authority. In a connected world, ordinary people often have access to better information than officials do."

In terms of bad information, I think there are two types: the kind you get when someone is ignorant and the kind you get when someone thinks they know a higher truth. In Wired's commentary about NIST's report on the WTC event it seems that governmental authority is often both.
