Part of your answer, which I'm paraphrasing to "I don't know, talk to the experts", is already a good answer. But I was hoping that there was an expert lurking around that might be able to explain the risks or link to some evidence.
- tgb 6y agoYou asked what "people on HN" think which is not exactly the top way to fish out experts.
- buzzerbetrayed 6y agoIf an expert read that, they would likely respond, citing why they are an expert. So I think it’s as good a way as any on hn.
- tgb 6y agoIf you hold a strawpoll of everyone around, then you may get an expert. But you will also primarily get non-experts, which is the problem and what headmelted is pointing out. If expert opinions are desired, why not ask for that? The non-expert opinions are already abundant, vocal, and ready to spread misinformation. shusson was not soliciting only expert opinions or even primarily expert opinions, whether that was intentional or not.
