I've finally taken a look at this site. I'm strongly tempted to add H.P. Lovecraft quotes to many issues, but of course he's not an expert in the relevant senses, and the easily findable quotes are from fiction which should not generally be taken as his own.

Based on your idea and the discussion that followed, I've added the feature to flag a quote as fictional.

On the question pages, fictional quotes are put in their own group:
Is information-theoretic death the most real interpretation of death?

On the expert pages, fictional quotes are flagged per quote:
H.P.Lovercraft's Opinions

Fictional quotes are discounted from the prediction analysis.
