Sometimes, but not always. Remember that the default for answered questions
is reverse by rating, so the topmost answer will be the higest rated one;
you can change the sort order, and occasionally can observe it in an
intermediate state before it re-sorts the (cached?) page. As such it's no
worse than any other crowdsourced site/resource (including pre-Internet
ones like Consumer Reports or the U.S.'s Better Business Bureau).
