I suppose. Though truth be told, the described problem is going to be  
the vast majority of notable specialist topics - any time you have  
multiple sources on a specialist's work, the secondary sources  
commenting on the work get in under looser standards than the  
specialist's own defenses of his work. It's a NPOV problem. And those  
specialist topics are, presumably, what the "no specialist knowledge"  
clause is going to deal with. So the question becomes, if specialist  
topics are the exception to the "no specialist knowledge" clause, what  
exactly is that clause doing for us that is not already covered by  
other parts of policies?
