Right, so just like with people the famous rich one with a big reputation is lent more initial credence than the anonymous one you've never heard of.
Or would you put just as much faith in Joe Programmer as you would in Steve Woz?
- SilasX 12y agoSo you need to be the Steve Woz of crime victims before you should expect any law enforcement action whatsoever on a crime with an enormous paper trail?
- TheOtherHobbes 12y agoIf I wanted someone to design me a cheap disk controller - possibly not. But in an account of a burglary - yes I would. It seems you've accepted that justice favors those with high status over those with low status. Perhaps you don't find that troubling. I do.
- sliverstorm 12y agoHuh? My parent is upset that Joe-Random has less clout. My point is Joe-Random has no credence, which has absolutely nothing to do with "high status". Woz has credence about disk controllers. Big banks have credence about finance and trading. That is as it should be. Joe-Random does not deserve equal clout on matters of disk controllers, finance, or trading.
