It has been my experience that it depends entirely on the skills and
background of the author.
Like it or not, the people involved on these lists are typically seeking
Cisco certification.
They are primarily interested in Cisco-centric solutions which at times seem
to be one or more offs
from the more generic RFC-based approaches to issues.
Aside from that, it seems some people may be subject matter experts and
still lack the ability
to be authors and to convey topics in a way that are condusive to learning.
It seems that there are times when a generically correct answer does not do
much to shed light from the perspective of the student.
There are also instances where the writing realted to a vendors solution
does little to enlighten in terms of a broader understanding
of the underlying principle.
Thank God there are people writing that have these skills in aggregate.
