This is one of the hard problems - having "experts" tell us not to be
interested in a topic is really bad policy, but sometimes "how do we
organize this information" is a much harder problem, often requiring
professional help.

It seems like this was just an argument over organization or taxonomy,
not content.  But I haven't seen good detailed info on it yet...
