Do you routinely ignore advice from those more experienced in other aspects of your life as well? Based on just what you wrote alone, and having never operated a drone in my life, I side with lecturers. Because they're licensed operators with (I assume) experience, whereas your counter-argument is...nothing, and you're the one telling the story.

Do you routinely stop what you're doing to listen to random people that claim that they're more of an authority on various aspects of your life?

Yes, regardless of what I'm working on, be it construction/maintenance on my house, basic electrical or plumbing work, driving my car, handling/transporting a firearm, and any other number of cases I have to stop and listen to "random people" i.e. cops, regulators, politicians, FAA, and whoever else regardless of how I feel about them because they are, unfortunately or not, the authority

We're not debating whether we have to do as they say or not; we're discussing whether they're right ot not, which is a completely different matter.
