Yes, this is true. 

However, as a "rookie researcher", it's quite difficult to be critical, since
the authors of the articles are, in someway, somekind of authorities for me;
they have experience, they are (in general) more trained etc. Moreover, I have a
very little experience about "what is good article", "what is not so good
article" and "what is source critism" etc.

Okay, will notice it. Btw, in Gzz p2p, is there possibility that there can be
multiple block sources in the network, altough block has a GUID (so we can take
a benefit from it when obtaining the block) ?
