Jan 25, 2017 at 17:13 comment added Rand al'Thor Mod @DVK It may not look much like it, but this was actually a "stream of consciousness" type answer. I pretty much convinced myself of all this during the course of typing it. Maybe that's why it was so persuasive!
Jan 25, 2017 at 17:07 comment added user80 I don't necessarily disagree with your conclusions, I do disagree with the method, in that this seems to take terms to their most extreme in order to demonstrate a contrary result. I think there are good reasons we can do what you say here, but I'm not sure they're clearly elucidated.
Jan 25, 2017 at 13:28 comment added Rand al'Thor Mod @BESW I deliberately exaggerated that example, in order to make the point that SE is about expert content, not necessarily expert people. The latter might help to provide the former, but they're not necessary or indeed sufficient. (Robert made the same point in a now-deleted answer here.)
Jan 25, 2017 at 10:36 comment added BESW I'm not sure if I agree with this or not, because I'm very distracted by the straw men and confusion. I don't think anybody is saying that "I'm an expert, believe me" is something we'll tolerate.

Jan 25, 2017 at 0:34 comment added DVK I came to this question fully disagreeing with your answer's conclusion. Then I read your answer, recognized myself in the mirror (including as SFF user, which is arguably my main "expert" account except for my real one, on SO, where i'm actually an expert doing things for a living), and this answer made me change my mind. Good job!
