The idea that someone should refrain from publishing a blog post about _anything_ unless they are a certifiable expert is not reasonable. Many people (correctly) write to learn, and even if they are publishing just to "present themselves as experts", it's on the reader to determine value.

In a world filled with false bullshit, crating more false unchecked writing instead of educating yourself is not a benefit to anyone.

What was false in the article?

In a world where there was less false bullshit people believed smoking is fine and sugar is healthy.

Amount of false bullshit doesn’t make qualitative difference.

Only difference to make is that people should not take something as truth just because it is written in a book or in a blog post or if person has a degree or not.
