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.

True, and I frequently wish that I could do so as well.

Regrettably, it is not universally true, even in the specialized media and
it seems to be much worse in the popular "mainstream"!
