*Some* experts. You can hardly move on WIkipedia without bumping into a Ph.D.

Our problem comes from people who can't work well with *lots* of
others - but that's hardly restricted to experts.

Some parts of Wikipedia are expert-hostile. But there's plenty of
others to tell those people they're doing it wrong. I think our
claimed "expert problem" is way overstated.
