Obituaries on Findagrave

Is it the norm on findagrave to fully trust information from obituaries? A profile of a distant relative I suggested some edits to had an obituary added by a user with over a hundred thousand memorials. They suggested an edit to change country of birth based on the obituary. Disappointing they seemed to put no effort into researching this person. For context the person was born in the 1800’s and the user is likely not related.

Just something I noticed, the users on this site seem to put a lot of faith into obituaries. Ran into this multiple times and people seem to prefer to go by what the obituary says even if it’s proven false. Seems the site is mostly just fake as accuracy of information isn’t a priority. Maybe I am just using the site wrong?
