Reading HN regarding tech makes me think I'm stupid. Then I see HN discuss hands on real world things, and I start wondering if actually HN is stupid.

Never read a thread on HN about a subject you have deep knowledge in.

Reddit has the same issue.

Everyone speaks with such confidence that it seems like they know what they're talking about. Then they starting talking the same way about something you're more familiar with and the illusion is quickly shattered.
