There is nothing wrong with looking down on fraud such as some pop chart musicians who have little training but claim they don't need it because "I was born with natural talent," or claiming without any significant education to know more about a specific subject, along with all subjects in general, than any PhD who specialized in that subject, or some good old boys with enormous beer bellies spending a couple of Saturday afternoons playing paintball in their trailer park over a case of beer and claiming themselves equal to combat veteran Navy SEALS. Dante, in his Divine Comedy placed the fraudulent deeper in Hell than the violent. A generation before mine said if you accept everything you stand for nothing. If that is what you do, then because you defend the human dignity of the rest of us, you will never make it in a dream to become a jerk.
I have my opinions and sides in rivalries in audio of what I like, but I don't denigrate other approaches. But don't take my word for it. Anyone who doubts me is welcome to check my property with a Geiger counter to prove I do not have a stash of Tzar Bombas to use against those who listen to push-pull amplifiers instead of single-ended triodes.
