If you don't mind, I'll be the authority on whether I understand what I say.

here and here.

I've stated what I do for a living numerous times on here.
I'm sure you have. I have not read many of the more than 3,000 posts you've made at ISF, except in this thread. Please indulge me. You have expressed an expectation that would ordinarily require expert judgment. I'm asking you to lay the foundation for that expectation.

I make no pretense at being an expert at anything I'm discussing.
In contrast I do. I try to argue from a position of suitable information. I'm curious why it seems you would discuss things you don't know about. Specifically, now hearing your admission of non-expertise, I'm curious to hear your justification for setting yourself up as a judge of whether your critics have an appropriate understanding. Your rebuttals of late base themselves almost exclusively on insisting that your critics are not properly informed. If you are not an expert, how can you assure your readers that you are not the one who is underinformed?
