Definitely this, everyone sounds like an expert to me in the programming/engineering/humanities threads until I see a one about mathematics (I am a mathematician) and I remember that it is just my ignorance of the other topics preventing me from being able to tell whether people actually know what they are talking about!

This isn't a site for mathematicians though. HN is extremely naive about math, not about programming, I am experienced enough in both fields to tell the difference.
