Pure luck. I don't have a tv.
 
Hola. I've been playing for X amount of years and I know what I'm talking about. I'm going to state my opinion in such a manner that it can be read as pure fact. You are sure allowed to state your opinion, but that's all it will ever be. If you don't agree with my opinion, that's cool too because nobody is perfect.

… thank you for your permission … I have been waiting 64 years for that …

Dunning–Kruger effect
In psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiorityand mistakenly assess their cognitive abilityas greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority comes from the inability of low-ability people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.
Funny, I just learned about this today. In an old Q&A video, Adam Neely addressed a poster who literally posted "Dunning-Krueger" on a bunch of videos of his. With a humble response, I should add.
 
I'm 67, well, almost 74, and I've been climbing Mount Wisdom since I was in the womb. Tonight I finally reached the top, and this is what I found (and you'll notice the drawers are a little light BWAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPP):

Odd. There was this dude named Jeff Berlin around here about six months ago with the same attitude. I honestly hope I never become so accomplished that I become That Guy.

I know of him and only recently became aware of his antics on this site. Zero affiliation. This was purely an exercise in comedy and a reflection of some more recent posts I've seen hence the "sarcasm" tag. Buuuuut I'm clearly no comedian and shouldn't quit my day job.

I'll hereby let you know that I have a patent pending on "The Truth (TM)", which means that in the future everyone claiming to know the truth will have a to get their opinion confirmed as the truth by me and further more pay me a license fee before being entitled to claim their statements as the truth.
