I think what u/SilverOz means is for authority figures (NPR, CBS, PBS, WP, NYT) & institutions (colleges, non-profits, NGOs) to declare that Q is legitimate. In the mind of u/SilverOz and many others, this declaration is what will legitimize Q.

I don't think that should ever happen and I don't think it will. The Q op taught us not to lean on authorities for truth. Primary sources and logic should be valued over centralized and unaccountable trust. We learned that these "authorities" aren't any more informed or logical than anons.

Why are so many hung up on the idea that what they know is true should be validated and acknowledged by proven deceivers?
