How very rude . The reason that I was able to explain it was in fact that I've bothered to study the subject rather than making it up. It's a fairly obscure question, but one which did happen to come up in some detail during one of my courses and which I've read a lot about before being able to offer a summing up of general learned opinion upon it.Zambo wrote:It wasn't, just a load of mumbo jumbo. Then again, I'm just a mere pleb against the holder of the tablets of stone, so that is probably why I labelled it that.Royal24s wrote:I just explained it to you. That wasn't an off the cuff personal assessment you know, it was a précis of the proper definitions. I honestly thought it would be helpful.
ps I think I'll stick with my description thanks.
You see, it's nothing to do with tablets of stone, but rather taking the trouble,effort and time to study and qualify before pontificating upon a subject.
Because I'm a bit old, I've had the time and good fortune to do that quite a lot. I don't actually talk crap about things until I've spent time on them, and I'm immensely grateful to those who took the trouble to help me understand complex issues.
If you prefer to stick with your own version which you have simply made up yourself, that is entirely your own choice, but in fact THAT is the true nature of unjustified confidence in your opinions rather than mine. It will only make you very angry and frustrated because your ill founded beliefs wont work.
You probably won't discover the square root of -1 if you couldn't be bothered to learn your times tables .
You referred to yourself as a " pleb". I didn't say that, but we all start in the same place until we start the process if learning and developing clarity of thought through study and experience. Like anyone else , you have the potential to do this, but it's your choice.
There's no point really in saying this because it's clear to me that you can't learn anything from me or anyone else, but I admit to my discredit that I felt I wanted to say it because I don't see why I should have to accept a lecture from, or be insulted by you without response.
