    More specific to what we talk about here on Gunsite and the internet you have people who have not had experience in building skills on a specific firearms platform but feel the need to impart their "knowledge", or their perceived knowledge, and get upset when they are challenged on that.

    There are lots of examples of this all around us all the time and not everyone is going to know what does not know but most of us should have a sense of unconscious
    incompetence for most things most of the time.
