Someone who can read music should be able to report from a musical score that it is in E-flat, even though that requires specialist knowledge.
Agree with you. But Wikipedia isn't the place for them to report that. We aren't a place for original research. The place for them to report that is in their criticism of the score published in some other source. We summarise it. That's how it works.
That *is* summarising it. Summarising the obvious should not require teaching J. Random Querulous the basics of your field because they want a source for your observation that "the sky is blue" based on the wavelength of the light from it tending to be more like 400nm than 700nm.
Yeah, you're probably right. Trying to keep comic book articles free of OR has probably heightened my senses as to what it is.
