Not quite, I'm offended by people assuming they know the correct answer about something and making baseless assertions. Asking your friend first would have been the move This is something that seems to happen in the US on a constant basis. People just assume they know or understand things that they have never learned about nor had contact with and then we get people voting and making policy decisions based on that info that was pulled out of someone's ass

  I know you're likely being sarcastic and I definitely understand. I can only speak to my experience and that's in the US, although I can't reasonably doubt that it happens elsewhere

> Asking your friend first would have been the move How did you know I didn't ask a friend first? And second, if my friend agreed these are good questions, then I get to ask an expert? Or do I have to ask more friends? How many unknowledgeable people do I have to ask before I get to ask someone knowledgeable to get an answer? > Not quite, I'm offended by people assuming they know the correct answer about something and making baseless assertions. Thirdly, who are you to say any of my assertions are baseless? You don't know if any of my other experience is relevant enough to form a meaningful base on which to pose a question.

  Word and phrase choice indicated that this was your perspective as a driver I'm wondering why you chose to respond to me rather than the person who chimed in with solid experience and an explanation for you.
