It's conceivable that they don't maintain the same level of expertise in all fields. That doesn't ruin the entire publication IMO. Just as HN commenters don't know everything about aerodynamics, mechanical engineering, fine arts - but that doesn't stop them from making cringeworthy comments on those subjects. OTOH that doesn't stop me from reading the comments for genuine insights and technical details on software engineering, for which there really is some world class talent here.
