I don't understand this. I'm not saying I disagree, I just don't understand. How would an attitude be a 'proxy' for quality?
I think what Geni was expressing there was a fear that experts might rate an article badly because they do not like Wikipedia, i.e. that their ratings might reflect prejudice rather than an honest scholarly assessment of the article content.
I guess that's a form of AGF.
