I think the low quality of commentary (here & elsewhere) comes from (A) not understanding this relatively complicated & technical issue and (B) wanting to comment & discuss.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't like to see discussions deteriorate like this. But on the other hand, I feel like participating in the discussion may be a good way of gaining an understanding ultimately bringing the level back up.
My thoughts also. Although I really feel unable to comment in a meaningful way.
I also think its frustrating for communities like this one, of relatively smart people, that there is something going on in the world that is effecting us that we don't fully understand (normally we are the ones doing the explaining to the lay-people !).
