    I think you might have missed the subtle point @mudman was making about marginal probabilities. Its not about their thresholds; any reasonable threshold would exclude the vast majority of people, mostly because the vast majority of people aren’t journalists / don’t have that training.

    Do you own a dog house?

      […] any reasonable threshold would exclude the vast majority of people, mostly because the vast majority of people aren’t journalists […]

      Perhaps I should clarify that I don’t agree with @MudMan@fedia.io’s opinion, which was stated in my comment. By their use of the term “unqualified”, it made me think that they had qualifications in mind which would be required to be met, in their opinion, before someone could be a journalist — I was simply curious what those qualifications were.
