I'm sure some people would simply ignore TBC 
Yes, they do ! I added two "possibles" to my tree, and clearly put "NOT CONFIRMED - COPY AT YOUR OWN RISK" in the details.
Within a month, three people had copied it. I think this is partially the fault of Ancestry - their hints only show the basic "facts", and not the actual page containing them.
The bottom line is, of course, that hobbies mean more to some than to others. Some people have a train layout, and are quite happy to watch a plastic model go round and round in circles for hours, whilst others have to build everything themselves, exactly to scale, and exactly to period and region. They both probably get the same amount of pleasure from it.
For most of us, genealogy is just a hobby, and we all have our own ways of doing things. My tree currently stands at around 5,500 names, and the accuracy of the data in my tree really depends on how far you stray from the main branches. When I hit "dead ends", I will often look down branch lines, to see if I can pick up any clues. I have also researched the branches of cousins at their request, but I draw the line on obtaining certificates for their family, so they're not fully verified either. Now, that may fit in with the ways of some others, but I'm not doing it for them - I'm doing it for me, and I'm not forcing anyone to look at my tree. I think we spend far too much time in this country worrying about what other people are doing
