    Yep, not everyone is an armchair whatever. Some of us have specific knowledge in certain areas (through hard work) and like to counter misinformation.

    Still get called armchair so and so’s though…

      Main problem being anyone can pretend to be anything. It’s why I leave my profession out of my comments and always link to sources. Not that it helps much

        Yes well I agree, my knowledge in my field isn’t something I came up with, but it does allow me to point towards that knowledge so others may learn.

      The ignorant subconsciously depend on a perception of ignorance in others. If they find themselves unable to do that, they are no longer ignorant.
