Just some friendly food for thought now.  You say: "That said, I don't consider degrees, accolades, or reputation to have anything to do with expertise, and so for this Encyclopedia's sake I'd encourage people to judge expertise by the "hacker criterion:" work done (in the given field)."  Isn't the years of work it takes to earn a degree "work done (in the given field"?  If you admit that, and you also admit that work done in a given field is relevant to expertise in that field, then are you not contradicting yourself?  We might continue in the discussion forums (link to the left under "communication"). --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 23:05, 27 January 2007 (CST)
