with a random example of Kano and CK who would be in the top 10 of the most knowledge and beneficial users to Bitcoin EVER only have a few hundreds earned merit.

While the merit system in general is a good indication of the user's performance, it can be entirely misleading in many cases.

It's not only about the technical aspect of Bitcoin though. The merit system is universally applied in the forum, which means that people earn merits everywhere, even if they don't discuss about bitcoin at all.

There are many examples of top merit earners who admit that they 're not technical people. It's not bad, in fact, it's normal and better this way. Technical expertise is kind of subjective because even for super technical users, we can't measure who is more skilled than the other.

Is gmaxwell more skilled than achow101 and is kano more skilled than CK? And most importantly, how much more skilled? (my questions are just to enhance my argument, not to be replied)
