Understanding is what you need, not credentials.

Trying to understand is much better than not, IMO.

Someone who understands always asks qualified authoritative source. If they have a job or family...!

I understand that it takes a ton of background and expertise to understand a paper in a specialized field.

You do not need a degree to gain that expertise, however.

Further, having the degree is not a reliable indicator of expertise, in my experience.
