I don't discredit the value of a formal education, either, Master A. However, the topics we
'discuss' on this forum are very often ambiguous, and the details lost in the mists of time. I
simply cannot abide someone claiming 'authority' on these subjects, when there is little more than
speculation and disputed evidence from which to form an opinion. A person may 'believe' that
their favorite author is correct in their translation, or their description, but without more
*proof* (in the form of surviving documents or other means of verification), they are just
that....beliefs. If someone wants to wave a university degree in my face, that's fine. However,
unless their subject matter is based on concrete evidence (such as medicine or the like, and even
that field has a bit of dispute floating about) then they can go hang.
