Seconded - also, discussing the topic in those forums is a good way to get your wrong notions bashed out of you by genuine philantropists.
Kaj raises a significant problem, and I agree with the advice given by Risto and Emile. You can also contact experts directly, though they are less likely to respond than if you stick your neck out on a professional forum or blog and get corrected. These methods are far more efficient that actually getting a PhD in a subject merely to prevent a few such mistakes.
