Since you are among those who make no distinction between those who
troll and those who criticize trolls, I expect you to ignore the
following as well:

Nothing, aside from the minor "bluffing your way" snark
(which is typical of Jan, and easily ignored); it's correct.

Well, Jillary is 'buffing her way into physics'
with a certain regularity.
She seems to acquire a new area of competence
with every youtube movie she has seen.

What outsiders don't realise is that sciences like physics or biology
are also languages that you have to learn to use correctly.

Athel for example will also be distrustful of someone claiming knowledge
of biochemistry when he consistently fails to capitalise
the letters in the vatamins C, D12, etc.

Biologists will distrust the biological knowledge
of people who fail to capitalise Linean species names correctly.
And so on.
Those in the know do it in certain well established ways,
those who do it differently are not in the know, probably.
