That sounds interesting. If there are quotes that are sources of usable insight from people who are not otherwise rational, hiding the source could lead to more attention being focused on the quote, instead of the author.
Pessimist that I am, I was more concerned with the opposite scenario.
I think more quotes are currently wrongly accepted than wrongly rejected, but the beauty of the proposal is that it creates a neutral format divorced from personality - it ought to be just as appealing to optimists as to pessimists.
Excellent point. Upvoted.
For what it's worth, I've seen some quite highly upvoted quotations from people who aren't generally (and aren't generally regarded here as being) paragons of rationality. (I suspect we may even be overgenerous in RQ threads to people who aren't generally very rational, but I'm not sure about that.)
Exactly!
Even more so, exactly!
