He is both right and wrong on this.
Right, for the present: Quora is special because of who is there, not what, and there is an upper limit to the success of a fan-club.
But he is wrong in the long term, or could be wrong, if Quora adapts and allows the rest of the world to create their own fan-club universes. If it goes on to inspire communities from different backgrounds, fields, industries and specialties, then yes, Quora can become "Stack Exchange" + resident celebrity monks + Wikipedia.
