Does it matter, any more than it would matter if a human author was a 10 year old or a Nobel laureate?

- Matumio 3y agoYes, the author's background matters when judging the value of a text. A nobel laureate is usually correct about the basics of their own field. I wouldn't trust a 10 year old child's knowledge about poisons. Even though some 10 year old child somewhere might know their poisons better than most experts.
