I'm not at all suggesting that GP should be downvoted, but just because a person ran a site doesn't mean they thought of and tried all the possibilities for making it work. Do we want to blindly accept all the advice friendster and digg have to give us? Should we accept everything Musk has to say about twitter, or should he simply listen without objection to Jack Dorsey?

Nobody claimed it should be read uncritically.

The considered opinion of the site admin, based on his own experience, is still worthy of note and of upvoting.

I happen to think he's right, but the point would stand even if I didn't.
