I'm really hoping that yours isn't a popular viewpoint. Having access to this type of information encourages people who have the curiousity to learn about it. If I didn't have access to PubMed or arXiv or pretty much every text book ever written, I'd probably be spending my evenings playing solitaire. Instead, I get to learn about stuff I should have been learning in 8th grade. Also, 'orders of magnitude'? I'm guessing that's hyperbole, but if not, what does that even mean?
