Density of worthwhile content also depends on the quality of the
contributors. A good editor can get the works of Shakespeare much more
readily by editing the output of a Christopher Marlowe or a John Webster
than he can from 1000 chimpanzees. It is amazing how the required level
of moderation is inversely proportional to the IQ and maturity of the
contributors.
