Teachers had their best intentions when telling us not to use it, maybe they were told not to tell us, but now I believe it is safe to use (for the most part). Caulfield and Wineburg did a good job not only explaining how to use the site efficiently for research, but also the changes the site is making for accurate information. What the authors teach in this chapter should be taught to students who are writing their first paper, because this is the kind of stuff that will help them in future essays.
