Separate and apart from those that think they know what they don't know.

But how do they know they don't know?

If they knew what they did not know then it would just be part of what they know.

Right?

Color be confused by what you know and what you do not know.

How do so few know so much about everything?

It's human nature. Some people live their lives by constanting questioning things and learning as much as they can about everything they can. And, they retain that knowledge. Other people don't seem to care about expanding their knowledge. They often make the same mistakes over and over again, and don't learn from them. And, they don't retain much knowledge.

Opinions and even misinformation don't bother me, but I surely wish people would read all the comments before adding their own. There are times when a simple question has been quickly answered, yet people still keep adding replies that are duplicates, incorrect, or off-topic.

Everyone is an expert

Expert, one who knows more and more about less and less until they know absolutely everything there is to know about nothing.

Facts seem to be optional. So are objectively researched responses, the use of non-perjorative statements, and a well needed reflective pause prior to responding, rather than being the first kid on the block at 5 am.
A guess ole Archie Bunker was right after all when he stated: "Everyone is entitled to my opinion." Perhaps his words to Edith to "stiffle it " would be more appropo.

I totally agree with you!

I agree. There was a recent thread where the OP clearly stated that he wanted to know where he could get fingerprints taken that was "currently" open. There were 47 posts, and almost all of them directed OP to go to a place that was not doing fingerprinting.

Well, I may not be write. BUT, I’m Never wrang!!

What bothers me is that every study/report/internet link that people post to support their infinite knowledge was paid for by some entity with an agenda to promote. The answer is never simple but often has many facets to consider and anyone who claims that their way is absolute is a fool.

Something I heard many years ago.

"Those of us who know everything are annoyed by those of you who think you do"

Briefcase. An expert has a briefcase.
