No.

I am saying, the people here could actually make qualified comments, if they wanted to. They could learn about the topics they comment on.

But they choose not to.

Which is a different story from most of humanity, which doesn’t even have a choice, doesn’t have a chance to learn.

I don't see the need for this much snark in response to a relatively innocuous comment.

Yes, i was over-shooting, because i had that attitude myself - and this is not innocuous . This hybris ruins lifes. Better snarky here, then Snarky out there, at the end of project, when it really hurts.
