And if we collect enough anecdotes, we'll definitely have the data for which we're looking.
A few thoughts:
Not everyone is a libertarian.
If you want to have political discussions there's a forum for it.
No one actually said what you're expressing: 'you have to have a degree to know about something.' What was insinuated was that the advice that is frequently shared on these forums flies in the face of the advice of trained experts. Which is actually a pretty different thing.
