[gutvol-d] Scholarly acceptance

The many discussions I've had with academics about PG and DP point to their unshakable distrust, sight unseen, of the quality of work done by "unqualified" volunteer/amateurs. "You mean you let ANYONE do your proofreading??!?!?" is both a question I was asked, and a fair summary of their attitude of incredulity. The open-source, distributed but computer-linked volunteer paradigm is still too new in the world for its strengths, and the quality of its productions, to be trusted by the average academic. Give it a few decades, and population replacement MAY change this.
