• I don't think his comment was intended to be snarkly at all. He was simply speaking from the point of view of the first owners of printing presses who were editors, publishers and printers all of their own right. One person who moved the letters, cranked out the books, chose what to print, etc.
  
  What he was saying is that just because a person knew how to move the letters and crank out the books, did not ensure that his ability to judge quality was as good as someone elses. He's right in this regard. You even admit as much in your post by saying "or can't find a partner who is".
  
  His point was well made. The creators of information are not always of necessity the best filters of information. In reply to: "Shirky: Problem is filter failure, not info overload"
