Check again. Webster came up with a style of dictionary, and just
about all publishers use it.
On the cover page of the dictionary you can find out who actually
published it. They may not actually be Merriam Webster. And they
are responsible for the content.
Sometimes the publisher will include a discussion of what
self-proclaimed experts wrote the content. Sometimes they just hack
something togther that they can sell, and the content is amaizingly
poor.
And even M-W is wrong sometimes.
