I was amazed just how actively negative credentialism could be -
Shirky posited it as merely putting a dead weight on the project, not
actually driving it backwards. Did anyone actually predict it would
result in CZ becoming a crank magnet?

If anyone wanted to advocate credentialism on Wikimedia projects,
they'd first have to work out how to fix the pseudoscience problem on
CZ.
