I don't think I'd ever go chiding someone over it, but he brings up a solid
point: if you hope to be heard, you need to speak in such a way that people
will listen -- this may sometimes include speaking *where* people will
listen.

As Charles mentioned, though, experts do quite a lot for us, just by
producing those reliable sources we so direly need.
