You are confused for two reasons.
First, this forum, "Beginner and Intermediate Bridge Discussion" is for Beginners and [B]Intermediates". Please bear that in mind. As such a forum, some material will be for intermediates.
Second, let me take your "beginner's guide to scrambling 2NT" as an example. A late beginner/early intermediate player asked specifically for an explaination of scrambling 2NT. What should people do, ignore the request? Tell them to go away until they bid and play better? While the rules of this site tries to direct the corrrect content level for the correct discussion group, it doesn't seem right to refuse to answer a question becasue it was posted in the beginner/intermediate forum.
Same for the "theoretical advantages to RKCB 1430 over 0314" (which wasn't my question or answer). But if an intermeidate ask such question, what should people with opinions do, ignore it?
Smith Echo and Obvious Shift was added to a long, multiple post thread in response to a beginners question about giving signals. If you actually read the thread, you will see that a recommnend signal choices for "beginners" was given that was standard signals in US and udca in europe or if you play on line most of the time.
