On Less Wrong, I guess this heuristic mainly ignores people who wrote their article in MS Word and have not lurked here long enough to be aware of this pitfall. Is that strongly correlated with low quality articles?
I believe that is exactly the assumption behind the heuristic—newcomers’ posts are of lower average quality.
