While the chosen line of inquiry is intrinsically intriguing and offers promise of potentially very many valuable results, this initial effort uses activity as a proxy for skill, a metric which seems potentially confounding without the ability to demonstrate strong correlation between quantity and quality of contribution. I'd like to see edits detailing such a correlation, or else the use of a more reliable metric. Unfortunately, as the matter stands, the weak metric used renders the strong conclusion in the manuscript unsupportable, and I cannot approve the manuscript for publication in this form.
