This point could count against any amateur philosopher.

What is more pertinent: why insist you are doing better than the professionals? You should assume you are making ,mistakes and reinvemtimg wheels.

Why not learn the standard jargon? You may not have the time or inclination to learn the whole subject, but the jargon is the most .valuable thing to learn, because it enables you to communicate with professinals who can help you. If you are able to admit to yourself that, as an amateur, you might need help.

There are some failure modes that arepart and parcel of being an amateur, and some further ones that take you into crank territory.
