I still have 80 mails to read to be up-to-date about the current
polemic, but I would like to ask a question to you Peter.

You said that experts can bring knowledge to readers, but that some
editors are aggressive idiots with whom there is no possible discussion.
This attitude towards expert knowledge is certainly also present amidst
readers - it is simply not detected because of a lack of interaction
with them.

So, Peter, how is this communication failure [1] (and I think the mails
I attached are a good sample of it, without judging who is right in
calling the other an idiot) towards idiot editors is different from
towards idiot readers?

Apologies if my wording is bad, but as you would said, it's just a
formal question, the knowledge is the same. :)




[1]: according to this goal: "Imagine a world in which every single
person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human
knowledge."
