Your inability to follow an argument that contradicts your unfounded opinions is not evidence that your unfounded opinion is valid.
Your inability to find any humility in the face of people like Ted Z. who have forgotten more about T206s than you know is but one of the reasons people here are so frustrated with you and wish you would either go away or get a serious attitude adjustment.
One of the humbling benefits of getting a Ph.D. was the recognition of how much I did not know, even in my area of expertise. A little humility goes a long way in this world. The sooner you learn that, the happier you will be.

P.S. It is funny that you bring up an analogy with freshman students. You strike me as a lot like some of my freshman students who, due to the tidbits of new-found knowledge they have, they think they are incredibly knowledgeable. But they are utterly unaware of the vast limits to their knowledge. On this basis they make arguments with gaping holes, much like you, but due to ignorance are unaware that the holes are even there. |
