HN is peculiar. It's one of the few forums where you can find rocket scientists talking about rocket science. Much more important, when talking about rocket science, non rocket scientists often state their experience is from playing KSP. I mean, people often declare their ignorance when writing a comment, without being afraid of any negative consequence. This is good. It means its an educated audience -- uneducated audiences rarely assume incompetence. An educated audience does not require as much of "nanny" moderation, for lack of a better term.
I hope HN mantains this profile, and I hope this profile applies to medical science as much as it applies to rocket science. I've learnt a lot about rocket science from discussions here, and I hope to learn a lot about medical science from discussions here. All without any danger of assembling and flying my own rockets, or cooking my own medication. I am very aware that Dunning-Kruger applies to everyone, myself included.
