This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Clarkson's also an idiot.
He absolutely is, but that doesn't make the things depicted on the show untrue.
It's kind of the point of the show, though. The main thing a novice needs explained to them is why bad decisions are bad. So the show provides a valuable public service, demonstrating to farmers which experimental methods work and which don't, so that farmers with less money to burn than Clarkson can gain the benefit of the experiment without bankrupting themselves.
