How reliable are opinions of people who set themselves as judges to decide if something is reliable?

When I see what professional linguists with professional formation who publish in professional journals under their own names have to say, I respect their opinions much more than someone completely unknown who uses a cartoonish-sounding name. I can't speak for the rest of the list, but as an academic, I respect hard-earned credientials.
