of circumstances; it requires lifelong study and a genuine desire to work hard to do a good job. The comments from a couple of people in this thread look clearly, to me, like they are coming from a context of not having done this study and hard work, and rather just having an

opinion that one wants to be right just because it is one's own opinion. Sorry, that is what got us into the current, very bad, situation in the first place. Don't bother me with that stuff. It is not worth consideration on the same level as opinions fro people who have really

done the hard work, had successes, made mistakes, lived through them, and from year to year have improved their results until they are drastically better than they started with. After one has done that work, the kinds of things one says naturally come out very differently,

because they are the product of a great deal of experience. Correspondingly, there are certain kinds of utterances that, when said, make clear that one just hasn't done the work yet. Demanding those utterances be taken seriously is a suboptimal use of everyone's time, including

yours. You would be much better off just doing the work and getting to a more advanced place more quickly.

Thanks for being serious. No matter my experience, I will never be so condescending and judge a stranger's experience from a few twitter messages. 1) because its Twitter and 2) English is not everybody's first language (incl. myself), so misunderstandings are inevitable.

This is certainly why I mis-interpreted your earlier, lightened up comments wrongly, sorry for that. But in that sense, I hope I never get to your point of seniority, if in turn it means I don't value an exchange with people of "lesser experience".
