A boon to those hungry for knowledge?
Or a more efficient way to spread disinformation?
I am by no means an expert in everything, but I notice a lot of false claims, personal opinion, and other hooey purported as 'fact' in many of these answers. Are people smart enough to know the difference? Many people can write eloquently, but don't know squat about what they are talking about. On the other hand, someone with a wealth of knowledge, but bad grammar, might be dismissed offhand as ignorant. If I don't know enough about something to respond intelligently and concisely, I either do a little research, or let someone more knowledgeable field the question. Sadly, it seems, many others do not, to the detriment of others.
What do you think?
