e exclusion of all others, people with a wide variety of life experiences and areas of expertise. Can you get past a glaring error in something you have knowledge of and move on to read the rest of the story? Are you someone who, once they've started reading something, have to finish it?
No...
Honestly... I expect a certain amount of basic research. Something that glaring says to me that if not enough care was taken with a big detail, then the rest is suspect. Sometime's I'll continue if the story is otherwise interesting, but my experience has shown that it's generally not worth continuing.
And Lord no, I feel absolutely no compunction to finish stories. I'm not a martyr... that's katyabaturinsky's job :P
