Yes, I really find this to be the issue with Quora. It's great branding about the wisdom of the crowds, thought leaders and what not. But really when all you have are a bunch of subjective questions/answers that people vote up, what else do you expect to happen except the one with most broad and popular appeal goes to the top. That's not the truth, that's a popularity contest. It's the same thing you have with the news -- reading it feels informative, until you see them horribly screw up something you know very well, and everybody laps it up mindlessly. Once you see that happen, you can't trust anything you read there.
