It's some sort of cognitive dissonance which assumes that any well-formed opinion by someone regularly more on the ball than you must be, well, written by a paid agent of your enemy, or something. Because it's quite <i>impossible</i> that anyone could genuinely have an opinion other than yours.<br /><br />But what Randy fails to understand - and this is another of his science-fan snobbery things, as well as a naive explanation for xkcd - is that <i>quality matters</i>. You pay more for a PR firm than a gaggle of students because a good PR firm has a sufficient grasp of psychology, aesthetics, etc. to grab the audience's attention and sell to it.<br /><br />tl;dr Why do we waste money on a system of higher education when we could just pull random people off the street and pay them $20/hour to do a stint of Civic Science Duty?<br /><br />captcha: Bonless.
