>Most of us have no idea what makes a plane safe or not. No matter how many times we check, we couldn't say. Furhtermore, you have no real idea as who of us knows, who is pretending to know, and who is lying.

So called "Professionals" can pretend and lie as well.

>Besides, >>102 is a pretty invalid analogy, and even when taken at face value, "people who happened into the hangar" couldn't build a plane no matter how hard they tried - they simply don't have the knowledge and skills required.

Says you. They might.

>>106 pretty much summed up the point I was going to make. The only difference between "Professionals" and us is that someone "officially" called them that.

The plane analogi is off for another reason, though. Wikipedia is all about submitting information. Everybody pronably has some information on one subject or another.

To build a plane would require special training and study. (One would hope.) Most people would know nothing about this.
