It's the reverse. People reading it can't stand it being inaccurate, so they go to make it accurate.

It's knowledge management. It's the same concept when building a knowledgebase at work. Everyone working on the articles ensures the most accuracy possible (as opposed to just one person, which oftentimes is somewhat limited).
