I'm sure they will. And they will all be misled, too. Probably.

Uh huh. I don't see the need to get personal about this. Yet.

I wish I could work out what this sentence means. Are you saying that the pretend experts like to criticise others because the others haven't written books or have real world experience? Or that the pretend experts criticise others because the pretend experts haven't written books or have real world experience?

Since you picked out Jonathan for special mention at the start of your silly post, and he's from the UK, and is presumably one of the pretend experts to which you refer, the second interpretation cannot possibly be correct, because Jonathan does indeed have a book to his name, and he has oodles of real world experience.

And the first interpretation cannot possibly be correct either, because the likes of Loney and Niemiec have obviously written books, too.

From which we can only conclude that neither interpretation can be correct, and that therefore the entire sentence is meaningless.

And I think it reasonable to extrapolate from the sentence to the post as a whole, don't you?
