We still  have an editorial duty to evaluate the reliablility of

they are not  reliable, reject them as inappropriate sources. If they are
just personal  opinion, that's what they are, inappropriate  sources.>>

Hmmm.  I think Fred if you follow this reasoning, you'll end up with  
humanities articles stripped of all the "essence" and just  dry descriptions.  
Interpretation is always going to be opinion.
 
We just have to make sure it's not *our* opinion, but rather the opinion of  
some established authority in that field.
