Three distinct concerns interact here; (1) information processing bandwidth (2) Human psyche (3) Human society. 1, 2, and 3 are utilized by HN and SO to (somewhat) successfully address the problem. Both approaches are, of course, meta-ghettoization protocols in service of affecting social norms, e.g. HN mercilessly applies the no-false-positive strategy but does dip its toes liberally in the group-think pool. SO milks the human vanity to employ a free army of thoughtful editors (but still, lots of noise in SO lately)
