It's always going to be a problem, unfortunately.  Here, things get
peer-reviewed (like what is happening right now), and hopefully people
walk away learning better ways to do thing.

On the internet, you have things like instructables websites which
gives anybody a platform to publish how-to guides, without any kind of
review, just an after-the-fact critique in the comments section (many
from equally clueless people).  The same with various other no-brainer
short video clip websites, and various other text forums with the blind
leading the blind.

At least the clue-by-four you get on Linux mailing lists, that some
people do not like, knocks the dumber ideas on the head.
