There's a sticky issue regarding metadata. Person A says that it's all about topic X. Person B, however, thinks it's all about Y. Person C, however, is an immature jerk and thinks it's 'clever' to make bullshit statements about ALL of it.

Thus the conundrum of how to trust statements about things. How true is it? How much is the person making the comment an authority about it? Is there some other less-visible (I hesitate to say 'hidden') agenda behind the statements? Or is it just some set of juvenile idiots jerking each other around?

This seems to one of many insurmountable obstacles that's keeping people from contributing content and metadata.
