This is yet another example of what I was talking about. It's not my responsibility to convincd you to listen to me. It's your responsibility to figure out what to learn and who to learn from. Because it affects your life much more than mine (!!!). If you don't want to listen to me, you don't have to: you can decide that I'm making a questionable appeal to authority and ignore me, and if so, you take responsibility for the consequences, whether they be good or ill.

But I'm not going to waste time engaging in debate with you or others as to whether or not I'm offering something valuable.
