Mar 17, 2018 at 20:19 comment added Mithoron @DavePhD Well, I feel title should be informative and clear in the first place, and then it may be also entertaining.
Mar 17, 2018 at 20:11 comment added DavePhD @Mithoron the title is a great pun, I love it. Several journal articles also say 4.2, maybe the oldest being sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165237010000811 (2010) and then newer articles citing to that. Overall, I think it is a good question.

Mar 17, 2018 at 19:53 comment added Mithoron Wikipedia clearly says it's a very strong base, I have no idea why you'd have doubts about that. Also title needs to be rewritten.

Mar 17, 2018 at 12:07 comment added Gaurang Tandon Remark: Wikipedia backs its claim with this German thesis "Changes in high-molecular weight compounds during beech litter decomposition" as a reference. On printed page 12, the $\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{b}$ is given to be 4.2. This citation was added to that WP page in Dec 2014 in this revision by user "Czeror". Might help in organizing clues to resolve the dilemna.
