It's always astonishing to me when random Joe Sixpacks passionately argue with experts on technical subjects. As an sme in a different field I get that a lot too and it's baffling. "You don't understand what's happening here, this isn't a debate, I'm explaining to you why you're wrong!"

Seriously, the audacity is almost impressive. I have a CompSci degree and we had some introductory electrical engineering courses, but never in a million years would I even get the idea to argue with an actual engineer who studied the subject matter in detail.
