Many times one sees very powerful beaureaucracies and powerful social systems which value style over substance. But ok-- I would say no harm valuing substance and knowledge-sharing. Also, personally I feel no use scolding or humilating or shutting up people who dont conform to a certain style-- if someone's intentions are good then let him be, no matter that he seems less "professional" and less "exposed" than another person.
