I don't see this happen often in areas where I'm an expert but I do see it, and it's weird.

There's a post somewhere, maybe one of the Stack Overflow sites or Reddit where somebody asks about how SSH works, and the answer given and upvoted is horribly wrong, it's like how somebody who half-understood an explanation of PGP might think SSH could work.

So I down-voted that and I wrote an explanation based on my understanding but referring to the RFC as I went, and, whenever I was surprised by the RFC, also checking the OpenSSH source code (the RFC is correct, but, you know, always worth checking).

It got downvoted. Zero comments. So clearly people are looking at these two explanations that are quite different and they are down-voting the one they... don't like?
