That's like pretending that the lead developer on MS Word and John Carmack are equally qualified and capable to speak on 3d graphics algorithm optimizations because they both know computer things. The best Paul can hope to do is to read the results research that these experts ACTUALLY PERFORMED.

He's not on their level and his opinion on the matter has zero importance other than his vote in the Senate.

If the lead MS word developer listens to Carmack's thoughts and points out problems, he's more than qualified.

"listens to Carmack's thoughts"

Because hearing a high level overview is anything even remotely like having foundational knowledge, much less a deep expertise.

I said equally qualified. You don't get to have the argument you want by disregarding the core of it simply because it disagrees with your politics.
