I can see that take. I know a lot of good people trying, and a lot of them aren't the most educated. I'm about as book smart as someone can be for many things. I have a philosophy degree. That's pretty nerdy.

But the OP post sounded like "poorly educated" = bad or unworthy. I've helped a lot of people who didn't know any better but wanted to grow and learn. "What screams 'ignorance'?" might have been a more apt title.
