Well that's kind of the real point here, isn't it? Snotty motherfuckers 'oh anyone can do this, it's not hard' when deep down they know it's hard, and that's exactly the point: inventing social traps they can use to abuse people less fluent than them.

I have a PhD in mathematics, and I don't demand ordinary people solve equations for me on demand, then mock and harangue them when they fail. That shit's for sadists and psychopaths. This is their cultural moment.
