Allow me to draw up an analog to demonstrate how much you're off:

''You're not an astrophysicist. You're some guy on a message board, like pretty much everyone else who is posting. You can read every new academic journal, break down mathematics from published studies, and write dissertations of comparative thought in the field and it doesn't make your opinion inherently worth anything more that some schmuck who's common knowledge consists of 5 minutes of reading a wikipedia article on Stephen Hawking."
