To have doubts and questions is normal. However, in
debating complex matters, it is important that one really
understand the issues. It is not the credentials that
matters here because there are people who post here with
only a BS degree and they are not dismissed for that. The
issue is whether there is any sign of real understanding
of the issues. Same old rants are useless.
You would certainly be angry at a person posing as a pilot
that never even obtained a license to fly. Just like flying,
it's not easy for any of us to acquire even a fraction of
what is needed to sort these matters out. What makes you
so special that you don't think you have to do any homework
before you jump in the cockpit?
