  Why should I care what wcummings reckons about what physicists think about cities? Because smart people with different backgrounds talking together provide interesting insights, unless you simply dismiss them immediately with out listening.

    To be fair to parent, after reading the submission title, I expected content a bit richer in facts, figures, and examples, not some smart dude's essay. Or if it were some smart person's essay, lacking those things, I'd expect that person to be something of a specialist in the field.
