Training people to think "I will check the single reliable source that has all the answers for me" seems like a recipe for creating authoritarian followers.
Authoritarian followers don't want to experience uncertainty & run to their "authorities" to avoid discomfort. Teaching people to expect immediate, confident answers from a centralized source to every question may have absolutely disastrous effects.
