Indeed, how does one know an 'expert in need of detailed information' from a
charlatan?  Especially in our faceless electronic universe?

Public dissemination of volatile information generally leads to this kind of
"we know best" attitude--witness what happened when someone wrote a college
thesis on how to build an atomic bomb!  All info gathered from public
sources--ya just gotta know how to put it all together (well, and find some
plutonium).
 
The whole virus issue is just as polarizing...
