I don't understand this. I'm not saying I disagree, I just don't
understand. How would an attitude be a 'proxy' for quality?
I think what Geni was expressing there was a fear that experts might rate
an article badly because they do not like Wikipedia, i.e. that their
ratings might reflect prejudice rather than an honest scholarly assessment
of the article content.
I guess that's a form of AGF.
