Big words don't scare me. If I cared about research related to people with Down Syndrome, then I’d read it and understand it thoroughly, but I don’t. Critical thinking skills are largely innate, it doesn’t matter if you have a PhD or high school degree. Credentials say nothing about your intellectual curiosity or your motivation to learn new things

On the contrary, critical thinking can be developed, but it will not save you from ignorance. It takes much longer than two days of reading to be able to thoroughly understand research like the one above, I really suggest you give it a try.

Not sure why you started rambling about credentials now, but I broadly agree with your point. However, again, all I have been arguing since the beginning is that it takes a lot of time and effort to reach expertise in a topic. I really don't see what is so controversial about this. Or do you really think that an average person can learn software engineering and criticize your work in only two days?
