When an expert in a field says that something is strange or puzzling, it's worth paying a lot of attention to. You could probably write an interesting book by talking to experts in different fields and asking them what they'd noticed that seemed strange.

Incidentally, what's strange about payments? (To me the strange thing about payments is the degree to which kickbacks are built into the payment system. I understand why it works, but I wouldn't have predicted it.)

For one thing, always surprising to me that Dee Hock isn’t more widely recognized as a business genius. Visa market cap per employee substantially greater than the (conventionally-defined) tech giants.

Lots of sites tell you what’s known (and that’s great). But we should make more legible the intuitions, contradictions, doubts, varied schools/opinions, and other wrinkles of the frontier.

Getting a PhD is really an exercise is realizing that experts really don't *know* anything. The final result or paper is just what had to get pushed. Once you accept experts don't have answers, but just data to calibrate your own opinions, the world... is scarier.

The challenge is setting up information "trust". Since experts are saying it in private, they don't want to be publicly quoted. If you make the experts anonymous, you don't know if the information is from an expert. Interesting challenge, but one worth exploring more.

Academic journals and technical reports are replete with such discussions.

The question is how to make those discussions more accessible to lay audiences.
