Yeah, I can't argue with that. That is because expertise no longer matters. All opinions are equitable. SMEs are actually now looked down upon, while Wikipedia warriors are granted much more reverence, because they aren't eggheads and can speak in the common vernacular. Even if they don't comprehend half of what they say and their opinion is full of holes, amongst other things. For some reason, society has forgotten the importance of the three E's - education, experience, and expertise - and has instead embraced the three O's - opinion, omission, and obfuscation. We get what we demand.
