This situation always causes problem though. If I answer a question with the "real" answer then it is over the readers head and I am accused of being eletist and arrogant. If I answer with the "common" answer, then I am not really adding value since a lot of people can do this.
So you see that the only meaningful thing that I can answer with is the answer that I know to be the right one even if this does just blow past the reader. To do otherwise is really just a waste of time. The Floyd Toole article is a classic example. His article was aimed at the common understanding not at the current state-of-the-art thinking. But then I always get follow on questions and critics that my answers don't agree with "the experts" of "common understanding/knowledge".
I understand where you might want both answers on your site, but I will probably never answer with the "common" answer. So when you see one of my answers you can probably expect it to be contrary to the common one.
