Do not, Danny, fall victim to the

That academics eventually would call for higher
standards, to "cut out the deadwood," and "weed out
the weaklings," reflects only the fact that these
professionals failed to understand what was Wikipedias
founding spirit in the first place. Such people,
despite their vast areas of rote knowledge, tend to
have some fundamental inefficiencies that may make
them in the end, extinct.
Zoe, ironically, seemed to be non-academic enough to
qualify as being among the robust,
I think that it's time for me,
as an academic that has had few conflicts with Stevertigo,
to ask, what in the world are you talking about???
