The point also stands that you're clearly assuming that if you don't know about it (as you just showed you didn't) then it must not be important or relevant. This is the fundamental stupidity at the heart of the AFD problem.
Sadly it isn't that simple (there are various ways that problem could be solved). Most people don't know about [[Titanium tetrachloride]] but I doubt you could get it through AFD.
Yeah, I think you're right. My guess is that, since most people can read and at least at some level appreciate a comic, they begin to develop opinions about the comics they read in specific, and all comics in general. On the other hand, with a topic like [[Titanium tetrachloride]], most people will have no particular opinion about it or it's relatives. Most people may have heard of some chemical names, may know a thing or two, but also realize that there's a whole bunch of important chemical names they've never heard of.
Besides, Titanium tetrachloride sounds so much more important than "Sparky the Wonder Flea" (made up name, I hope).
