Oh no, they feel the same way with less knowledge.

If anything, they feel more confident, unencumbered by experience or the truth.
It's tough arguing with someone sitting on top of the Dunning-Kruger curve.
I mean, in some areas the same facts can lead to reasonable differences in opinion. But in other fields there are objective right/wrong answers
Booo! Everything must fit neatly in a box.
You're right but I think what they meant is essentially a facet of Dunning-Kreuger.
Most people know enough to know that what they know is a fraction of the surface area of a subject.
But some people know a fraction of it and think they have godly expertise because they can't see the breadth and depth of the field. This is often because they can't even comprehend the complexity as they simply haven't encountered it before.
Objectivity doesn't exist.
Kant, and friends.
Or OP is actually the one with less knowledge.
It feels the ones who know the least tend to be the most arrogant
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I want you to know, little one, I take no joy in doing this.

You're not the only one cursed with knowledge
Slaps you in the face with new research
Get out of here, old man!
Simply ignores it while regurgitating my personal opinion as if reiteration and intuition could trump the cold equations themselves 😎😎😎
I'll let you know, I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals!
You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker.
Tl;dr
So, what's your subject?
And why is the most popular opinion about it wrong?
Mine is soil. I've got a graduate degree in soil science.
The most popular opinion that is wrong is all of the common ones. Soil science takes 5 science disciplines ( bio, physics, Chem, plant nutrition, and soil development) and rolls them all into one.
Not all tillage is bad
Not all amendments are good or work
There is just such a big gap in common knowledge when it comes to this topic and a lot of 'experts'
Which soil tastes best?
What's your biggest tip for creating healthy soil?
If you plan to sue it as a garden get it tested. There can be metals and stuff you don't want being taken up by your veggies.
Most natural soils are pretty good. Limitations are highly site dependent. Some have heavy textures, and poor drainage as a result. Some lack nutrients. It depends.
For nutrient poor soils add organic matter but make sure they have C:N ratios below 25:1
Get on Reddit and comment that something other than AMD, Corsair or any other heavily shilled brand makes a better preforming product and you can experience this first-hand.
I don't want to go to reddit, but let me try something:
"I don't want to use linux, windows 11 is just fine"
Or:
Xbox > PS5
Microsoft bad. Unironically.
Examples!
When that happens I usually get banned for the community
This is weirdly specific, but I've sadly been in more than one internet "discussion" where a CNC laser cutter is shown in a video, and some knob end pops up in the comments and says "ThAt'S a PlAsMa CuTtEr NoT a LaSer sToOpId".
For about ten years I set up, operated, programmed, maintained, and repaired both plate and tube lasers made by NTC, Mitsubishi, Amada, Trumpf, Han Kwang, Mazak, and BLM. I know enough about industrial lasers to make them boring. I can tell if a shop has a laser just by driving by. A plasma cutter works different, sounds different, and cuts different than a laser, and even someone who knows nothing about either process can see there is a difference.

The internet has helped make everyone a fucking expert with no expertise
Doesn't matter you're still a moron for debating on the internet.
I disagree. It can be a useful learning point for both parties, especially if you have differing opinions and have good points for them.
Agreed.
I disagree.
is this the new star wars spinoff?
I just assume I don't know anything, and I'm saying what I know, trying to convey my method of thinking about problem. It's mostly for me to check if other side can communicate, and we can exchange useful information
