I would even say that professionally written encyclopedias like Britannica aren't really a good "end source" that you should be citing.

Speaking as one of the old folks who went through school before the World Wide Web existed, you were never allowed to cite the old-style, printed and bound encyclopedias.

You must have had shittier teachers. We had to site sources, and none could be encyclopedias.
