Suggesting a 'need' for some third party analysis when people can do their own analysis and come to their own conclusions, is absurd.

As you know, much of the issues we are looking at are very complex. I'm not sure about you, but I'm not an expert in physics, chemistry, astronomy, ancient languages, religion, etc.
In many cases such as the Zacharia Stichin discussion, one needs to be a subject expert in order to weigh in a qualified decision.
The other main issue is time. I have a full time job and I would imagine other people on here do something other than Avalon full time. I do my best to investigate each of these topics, but I can't possibly cover all angles due to time constraints.
In other words, there's nothing wrong with the Cliff Notes (pun intended). :-)
Yes, we can all do our own analysis, but it will obviously be heavily biased based on our own strengths, knowledge, and weaknesses. That is, unless YOU really do know everything.
