Your subtle implication that you are among the smartest of laypeople somewhats hurts your claim of fellowship with them.
replyI claim nothing of the sort, and scarcely imply that, either. Like, yes, of course I'm above average; average people wouldn't be coming here and would have no real reason to be aware of this place. My point is simply that if I don't understand these things, many other people also wouldn't. Others in this comment section appear to be discussing the article intelligently; they know far more about this stuff than I do.

replyThe implication made explicit! Not to mention you yourself say that only above average people come here.
What is even your point man?
