Actual naval experts in HN notwithstanding, I think it's worth remembering that a little knowledge, at times, can be a dangerous thing. This is true of many topics on HN that are only obliquely related to software engineering. Silicon Valley has earned a great deal of confidence by disrupting other industries by out-thinking their experts, but perhaps we should temper that confidence a little, least it becomes hubris... Bottom line, if we're going to dismiss experts, I think we should be armed with a little more than the knowledge we garnered from an internet article.
