Not because he is a professor in economic. We can believe or not.
I remember that when I posted a question about security of /dev/[u]random,
Steve has pointed me to some references, said "They will keep you busy 
for a while".
I know he was true. That /dev/random was so complicated to me and I 
didn't have time
to dig more into it. Then I keep silient.

The same situations happens when someone join a thread with Steve.
We just don't have the same background like him.

I don't think Steve has time to explain. It is our job to read and catch 
up with him.
