It's amazing the logic hoops their supporters go through. I can't find the site (it was linked from another journal article on HN) again right now, but I went to a journal trade site once and started reading the comments. The article was about open access, scihub, and how journals needs to be ready, but the comments I could only assume were paid shills.

There was one guy whose position was that journals needed to limit access because the layperson would not understand what they were reading. He was questioning a person employed in home care who admitted to use SciHub to read topics she was interested in because according to him she had no need for that knowledge. This is what open access to knowledge is up against.
