1) Those who dedicate themselves, through trial and error, to try and genuinely understand the science and business of the game by absorbing others knowledge who have attained a level above "True Fan". I would include myself as being "on the cusp" of this, as a Real Fan knows you never stop learning.
Incidentally, I am adopting Real Fan as the proper title for this group.
2) Then we have the Acolyte. The Acolyte has a general working knowledge of both the science and business of the game, but tends to have greater strength in one or the other. The Acolyte tends to stumble from time to time, and may risk falling in to the depths of TFS. When these moments occur, a firm-yet humorous reminder must be administered, so the Acolyte will understand that while he is being corrected, and that there is much yet to still be learned, he is not being forsaken.
I have used this very day, and suggest the following:

And then we have...
3) The True Fan. The TF will argue football idiocy until
the day he dies. The TF is so completely sure that his way is the only way, he might as well be posting to himself.
NOTE: Gut feelings can only be construed as True Fan if you DON'T have the proper mojo and refrences to back it up. If you think you've found the Magic Elixir; you better be a good Snake-Oil Salesman.
True Fan tendencies include following the herd, and an inability to name AT LEAST THREE MEMBERS of the team that comprised the last Chiefs Super Bowl Team.
For these cretins in the Chiefs Nation, harsh punishment must be applied liberally, and until such time as they either elevate their knowledge, or leave altogether.
My current Stamp Of Shame for these infidels is the piece I used in my response to your post,
but NOT directed at you. Rather, those you were righteously denouncing.
Let's listen again:
And there you have it!
