    I know where you’re coming from. And I’m not saying you’re wrong. But just a thought: what do you think will prevail? Having many people bash together pieces and call in someone who understands the matter only about things that don’t. Or having more people understand the real depths?
    I’m afraid that in cases where the point is not to become the expert, first one will be chosen as viable tactic
