There seems to be some confusion about terminology. I'v been reading about evolution since 1970s and have had book reviews published about evolution. I must admit, however, that I have only a layman's understanding of evolution. The research that is currently being done is beyond me, so I can only tell you what I mean by the words:
So, you feel it is ok to review publications about a subject on which you only have a layman's understanding.
Sweet, I should go get a new job as and editor for the Wall Street Journal because I have a layman's understanding of business principles. Or better yet, I should go work for Foreign Affairs. I've been out of the country, that gives me a layman's understanding of foreign policy.
And you also feel it is ok to tell professionals they are wrong concerning subjects on which you have only a layman's understanding.
EX:
Second law of thermodynamics states that a system of particles tends towards a state of greater disorder.
NO, YOU'RE WRONG.
Second law of thermodynamics states that heat does not flow from a cold object to a warmer object.
It states that when two systems are in equilibrium and the barrier between those two systems removed that they will move towards higher entropy. And even this is only in a closed system which Earth is not.
