I mean who has the time to make 11000 posts on these forums.
It's true that it usually takes a long time to become well-educated on a particular subject. However, once one is well-educated on a particular subject, it doesn't take long to point out how somebody else is wrong about that subject.

By contrast, it's easy to become wrong - in fact we're born wrong about almost everything. However, it can take a long time to try to explain something sensibly when it isn't sensible.

With a little bit of patience and hard work even you might get there.
Well, there are (at least) two possible shortcuts: learning to recognize other people who are educated... or... pretending you know something when you don't.
I'm aiming for the former.
