- likpok 17y agoIf they did that, they'd have to look at self-styled 'expers' who write books on topics like weight loss etc, with no formal qualification. And there are a lot of those.
- zargon 17y agoHow about people learn critical thinking and filter out the quacks for themselves? I don't care to pay for nanny-state regulation, or have content censored because some source doesn't have a "formal qualification." They will always be playing "catch-up" to the latest scams anyway, as this article demonstrates.
- omouse 17y agoYou already pay for "nanny"-state regulation and those quacks are most likely violating consumer protection laws, the very same laws that protect you from other much larger corporations that have the money+lawyers to screw people easily.
- olefoo 17y agoThe cure may be worse than the disease. Think about the hilarity that would ensue if you applied that same heuristic to self-styled 'experts' on the topic of server-scalability or web-application security.
