I certainly have no intention of wasting my time debunking every nonsensical word from every ignorant amateur who shows up here with pretensions to educate the educated. Can you imagine Michael Jordan wasting his time in a one-on-one against some short, fat, couch potato just because the slob proclaims himself a basketball player?

Long winded? Now, I am hurt. In the post the self-aggrandizing ignorant rants against, I presented an hypothesis and a falsifiable experiment. It took me all of 4 sentences to do so.

I gave short actionable instructions with reasonable expectation to benefit the person I addressed. The self-aggrandizing ignorant wrote a ream more in the same thread without contributing anything and with no reasonable expectation to benefit anyone except himself. After all, Jim even contributed his own amusement.
