Let's try this another way: I want to know about string theory so I google it. I could read several theoretical physics journals on the subject, but I probably wouldn't understand a word they were writing. So I have to go to a site or a journal that "dumbs it down" for me, but of course a lot gets lost in the translation. So now I know they postulate 27 spatial and 2 temporal dimensions on a "string" the length of Planck's constant. So now I have an understanding equal to Stephen Hawkins? And worse, I think I can get in a debate with Hawkins with my new found "knowledge"
Why is my "opinion" more correct----first of all, it is not "an opinion" it is a factual knowledge base and an understanding of how things work---and you don't understand those things from a google search. And my experience is not better than "everyone" else's, there are physicians who know more than I do. But there are few if any amateurs that qualify.
You seem fairly intelligent, so why are you being so obtuse when you have to know I'm right?

I love this post!! I've only been here a couple of years, but I think it's my all time favorite!
All that medical experience, I'm sure you know a 1000 times more than me about medicine. I'd never even consider commenting on a legitimate medical question. I'm not qualified and as you say, what I could learn from Google, would be just enough to mke me dangerous.
All that experience you have with Medicine? I have with Land Use, Zoning, and real estate in general.
... but you can keep on using Google to debate and question things I've posted on this subject.
