Again you focus on 'quality', forget that and start talking to people about issues related to Bitcoin, that's what the forum is for.

These are the false equivalences that are of concern. You switch from a quality focus to focusing on "talking to people about issues related to Bitcoin", and make it appear as that would be the relevant measure for gaining merits. And once again, whereas the intention of this might be the right one, it is not what data shows how it really works.

What data? Can you point me to a statistical analysis of merits given in a person to person conversation versus those that are not?

It really depends what you define as 'quality'. "talking to people about issues related to Bitcoin" is quality to me. It has nothing to do with making big long fancy posts. The fact you judged my 30 merit post on the grounds that it was only a few lines long rather than reading the conversation it was part of shows me you just don't get it and I'm wasting my time trying to explain it to you.

You can look at the data yourself if you cross-sample users what they were given merits for.

You seem to be very defensive about your post. So be it. I leave you with your illusion of superiority.
