    The one thing I have no patience for is dudes (it's almost *always* dudes) who spend 15 minutes on something you've been studying for 10+ years and act like they've solved Fermat's Last Theorm

        All time favorite is the family member's ex-boyfriend who tried to convince me that strawberries are toxic to dogs and that the seeds cause GI obstructions. Most annoying is the "I watched Cowspiracy so I obviously know everything about food animal production now" crowd.

        Experts suffer this in all fields, Duning-Kruger exists everywhere, made worse (I strongly suspect) by social media and low barrier to entry to many fields

        That's because all it takes to be an expert is to read a couple of articles. And anyone who says differently is obviously an establishment shill....
