What you say is very true, I am still learning and developing my knowledge here, but sometimes I hesitate to express my opinion because I don't fully understand the rules in this forum.
I am glad you found my words convincing, we all are in the learning phase even if we become legendary too and the funny thing is, as a Senior member of this forum I lack a lot in terms of technical knowledge and sometimes I make statements on which I have to feel regret because when OGz found that mistake they
do not guide you without roasting hehe.
That's part of the funzies of the forum, and also part of the reason that humble and thick-skinned newer members will likely grow in rank faster.. as long as they are learning along the way, attempting to grapple with topics, and trying to post interesting points from their own experiences.
But I try not to mind it because one of my teachers used to say, that in learning we should not mind anything at all coming from teachers.
For sure sometimes the teacher is wrong.. and even the teacher might sometimes be guising himself/herself as a teacher when s/he is just faking it and hiding behind the quasi-anonymity of this kind of a forum.
It is good not to argue for the mere sake of it, but sometimes you can argue, and/or present facts, logic and even variations on the conclusions that might cause for some discussion points, to the extent the newly provided facts, logic and conclusions are not totally stupid.
If you don't fully understand this forum then try to spend more time here and try to learn new things, and be legit and natural here, don't try to pretend a character that in reality you are not. That way you will remain safe as this is not some article publishing site its a BTC and crypto discussion platform so use it that way.
You can sometimes also get away with some kinds of discussions that you could never have in real life because sometimes you might not want to present certain ideas to people in the real world or you might not even have any audience for your ideas within 2 hours commute.. and even then, I find that sometimes bitcoin related discussion in the real world can sometimes either become quite exhausting and/or too confrontational with stubborn folks on both sides and kind of not really a productive use of time after getting to some log-jams in the discussion.. so maybe in the real world, the discussions might be going great, but after a while there may be needs to take a break so each of the sides can either recover or to think about the contents of the discussion, and on the forum, you can choose your topics and the extent to which you want to present information.. even though sometimes it can be difficult for some folks to type out their responses (well we have dictation tools too), or they might have some troubles in English, that would likely improve with practice.
