I'd like to be explicit that I disagree with you, though this is implied in the grandparent. I think Luke, and EY, have very good philosophical heads on their shoulders. I also don't think there's such thing as philosophical expertise (contra Luke, I admit), so Luke's admitted lack of traditional philosophical training doesn't bother me (and shouldn't bother you).
I don't care about philosophical training, (having had none myself). I do care about clarity and good argumentation.
I agree. So would my mentor, and he's said so explicitly: "I am an expert at logic, but I don't believe anyone is an expert at Philosophy."
