I agree with you about placement on the cover of Hot Rod, and the same
applies to most other publications: the ability of a writer to meet regular
and repeated deadlines is a far more important qualification than
outstanding knowledge of a subject.


I guess that depends on the publication in question not expecting
both. For example, Weir knows what he's talking about and makes a
monthly deadline every time.
