Mainstream media? I occasionally cringe at some of the discussion here on subjects I know something about, seeing how badly wrong smart people can get it. (Thankfully most of the discussion on HN is on subjects I know little about, or are that are way over my head! :-) )
What is your point? No one can be smart at everything. Just because one occasionally writes words that helps computers do things doesn't mean one's world view is not silly when it comes to other things.
