The 5 minute course to Outpost mastery of every subject

I was going to share the secret of wiki and spending 5 minutes to learn 2 random factoids on a topic in order to argue with people that have spent their career on it.
But you fellow masters already knew this. Ofcourse!

Have you ever considered that logical fallacies may be false? I mean they are taught to you by people that spend their whole careers doing so.

No, but give illmyrin a few minutes to see if he can find a Youtube video or a Great Wall Of Text that supports your argument.

So...you've never pulled the "stand back, I'm in IT" card?
Of course you have.
It is not a coincidence that Koneg responded first. In a crowd of know it all blowhards Koneg is outstanding in his field.

And I usually point out that's what I'm doing, don't I?

I tell people my background but if people would rather fumble away at a problem rather than take my help then that's ok. It's a learning opportunity for them. If and when they change their mind I'm around.
But I'm boring like that.
