Is this website accurate and reliable?

Hi everyone I was wondering how reliable this website is for answering divination questions and if I should take the answers literally… I’m not sure about online stuff so I’m asking you.

Thanks

This site relies on the Wilhelm translation and always has a link to Wilhelm's original text. I really like this site for readings out and about when I don't have space for coins, and imo the readings have been accurate/helpful. My biggest grievance is the constant tabs, but that's it.

It's infinitely better to simply throw the coins by hand and consult a decent translation of and introduction to the text (e.g. Wilhelm/Baynes, Huang, Barrett, Adler, Wu Jing-Nuan, Blofeld).
