Generally speaking, the fewer people understand the topic, the greater chance that the voting will be dominated by noise. When the fraction drops below the lizardman constant...
Yes, lol. The comments to this sequence, on the other hand, have been mercifully intelligent. They include phrases like “having done graduate work in general relativity” and “it [relativistic Lagrangian mechanics] makes sense for the effective field theory form of GR, for light at least”.

In between, there’s people who appreciate the “it’s about degrees of freedom, not dimensions” ‘insight’.
