You are "rebutting" things that haven't been said by anyone. And then insisting you are right.

Here is what I actually said, which you intentionally misquoted and are now twisting into something else entirely:

For some conditions, the patients themselves are often better informed than general MDs. Only actual specialists in the condition really know more

And that is not so except for a very small minority of presentations. If you'd said "very occasionally" rather than "often" I might agree. Everyone else is simply pretending to a much higher level of expertise than they possess.
