I aim to educate myself, analyze input, have my own eyes, ears, and brain. Then comment accordingly?

The idea that posts on topics make me some semblance of "expert" seems to be your perspective, not mine.

I've be a fan of ball for my entire life. I'd like to think I've picked some knowledge along the way. I've never claimed to be any more than that.

Do you not read anything, take in no input, but mystically create output as posts?!?! Not sure exactly what you are accusing me of, short of having opinions that differ with yours.
