    And yet Linux works fine. Not everyone needs to be a dev, devs can tell the difference between an expert and a charlatan.

      I meant that as a reply to the second paragraph which generalised anarchism; including the non-Linux world.
      I also disagree that this isn’t an issue in the broader Linux community however. See for example the loud minority with an irrational hate against quite obviously good software projects like systemd who got those ideas from charlatans or “experts”.

        I know, I used Linux as an example. Just like not everyone needs to be a weatherman to trust weatherman that can recognize experts among themselves, so too can engineers recognize experts among themselves, and so forth.
