This reminds me of the old joke, "What do you call the guy who graduated last in his medical school class?" "Doctor." I went to school with many people who went on to become doctors. I can say with confidence not one of them is inherently better at researching, learning about, and coming to understand something than I am. I didn't choose to go to medical school. They did. But if I'm going to dump thousands of hours into researching what's going on in my own body, I will know more about my body than they do. The fact that I found another subject more interesting for my graduate degree doesn't mean I'm incapable of learning what they did, from first principles if necessary. I get why they're tired of having to address everything someone says they found on the internet, but we're not all idiots out here. |
