Are we playing this game?

Complaining that someone is not qualifield to give advice because they did not take any risk "in the field" or did not "experience it themselves" without qualifying what would constitute good advice or a good advisor is pretty standard too. At least personally I would not insist on my physician having had cancer before.

Though I do have to admit that the comment about the average nerd is more accurate than I'd like to admit. I won't continue this discussion further.
