One Cord To Rule Them All

Mr. Thyname I have noticed following these forms for a while that when anyone challenges you you resort to childish insults and attacks on their character. Perhaps there is some trauma in your past or unhappiness with your present situation that causes you to do this. However it does not advance your position and I suggest a more mature approach.

With regards to my qualifications I am well qualified to make the comments that I did with respect to what was written. I would expect most electrical engineers and physics students to recognize some of the technical errors. I would not expected of people not skilled but that is why people who are make the comments that I did.

Credentialism is bunk.

All a degree means is you know all the same stuff everyone else with the same degree knows. So you can build the same bridge, or the same circuit, everyone else with the same degree can build. Instead of Smurf Level 4 you are Smurf Level 3. Big whoop.

People like Caelin, Ted, Eric, Krissy, Max, are not Smurf Level anything. They are doing stuff no one has ever done before. Since no one has ever done it then of course there’s no one to teach you how to do it. You just have to learn by doing.

There was a saying back in the day, "Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach." So true. What it means, those with credentials learned from those who don’t actually know how to do anything. Something to ponder next time someone flaunts their credentials.

It’s worse than that. Here, most users post anonymously, which is their prerogative. But that also means there’s no way to verify anyone’s credentials and as a result users make all sorts of claims. The only was to ascertain expertise on Agon is to judge a user’s posting history. "New" users who debut with a flurry of critical posts usually aren’t new at all, but previously banned users posting under a different name. It’s pretty obvious..
