Just fantasizing. Is there anyway the more reputable ATM posters can help?

I didn't spend much time in ATM, but the threads I did read seemed to feature a fairly standard set of pro-science attackers, a set that seemed bereft of ATM proponents. I often wondered why that was. And, I concluded, jokingly, maybe it was some sort of professional courtesy that ATM proponents extended each other: I won't criticize your idea if you don't criticize mine.

I still wonder why ATMers, who enjoy creating ATM ideas, don't seem to spend much time demolishing their weaker competitors' poorer ideas -- or even if my haphazard sampling yields results reflecting reality.

If it is true, how can their participation be harnessed? Would they want to be harnessed? Would it actually be useful?
