Interesting phenomenon I have noticed here and there: these experts choosing to work on Wikipedia on an entirely different topic altogether. That is to say, someone quite qualified and competent to write articles on Assyrian archaeology in the way we normally mean when we say "expert", but instead writing at some length about eighteenth-century music, on the grounds that Assyrian archaeology is too much like the day job - besides, the articles are a mess, and this other stuff is fun, damnit.
Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing I leave as an exercise to the reader.

I never had much interesting in editing articles on law; and, after a little experience with a "developer", little enthusiasm about arguing about generally accepted legal principles with a half-educated horse's ass. So I argued with a guy with a doctorate. Dumb arguments are maddening. Just how is one supposed to prove which way is up?
