As a community grows it attracts people who don't have the same background that drew the original members of the community together, so it becomes inevitable to see this kind of layman commentary. I've seen it happen to r/hardware which has been taken over by gamers with no CS background and AMD shareholders when it used to have a lot of knowledgable people commenting.
I don't claim to be an expert, but I actually do undergraduate neuromorphic computing research. So, I don't know much, but I do know a little about what I'm talking about.
