Helfiles in wiki

I wonder what is the point of copying information from retro helpfiles to the wiki.

My worries are the following:
1. Duplication of information is always bad. Sooner or later the wiki files will become not up to date, and thus misleading.
2. Are you actually testing all information from the retro helpfiles before copying them? History shows that the helpfiles in retro are often very inaccurate, and some things are virtually impossible to test. Why copy incorrect information?

I believe wiki should contain well tested information, in particular of the kind that is not clearly explained in the helpfiles. For example quantitative description of the effects, information about non-fixed bugs etc.

Second this. In my eyes the Wiki should contain solid numbers from tests, and exact or approximate formulas whenever possible. It would also be helpful to note changes in skills/spells, such as gain or loss of affecting stats, and bugs or previous bugs in the skills, along with dates or approximate dates they were fixed.
