I value reddit-like forums like this specifically because of how frequently misinformation gets debunked. The way we treat comments equally instead of prioritizing accounts with more "followers" makes it possible for a random person with specific knowledge to have their voice heard when it counts. This site's credibility doesn't come from being right about everything, but by having a system that's better at finding the truth than others.
