People seem to want to know more about the field of science, but they don't want to take the time to learn the branches. People like to comment on science related subjects, yet know nothing about it. The OP is a prime example. There's not much I can do about that. It's up to the individual to educate themselves about things they're interested in. Perhaps the school system needs to be refined, but thats in the realm of politics. Sure, I sometimes discuss things that are out of my field, but I never claim to be an expert on something when I'm not, nor do I try to use pseudo intellect to degrade a group of people.
