  Probably a better quality standard than the "Stern" magazine,
  which published the study ;-) Remember, that magazine
  published the presumed Hitler's diaries.

  Brockhaus, the encyclopedia, are pissed off because the
  comparison was made against their online edition, which only
  has a fraction of the print edition.
