Dear Malcolm: Why So Threatened?

Chris Anderson responds to Malcolm Gladwell's column from yesterday. His example may work, but I agree with calcutt's comment (I would link to it but I can't), the example Anderson mentions is fine for some topics, but I'm not sure a by-day civil engineer could knock up an article on war crimes in Sudan that takes a year to research, that needs a full-time, paid, professional journo, not someone who is only writing from personal experience (no offence).
