Do you remember this (partial) exchange, on the "Todays permitted exercise!" thread?

It's all very well having ready access to expertise but if you don't pay attention when listening to what the experts are saying then perhaps that ready access is less useful that one might suppose!
Second-hand understanding of something is often a simplified, if not simplistic, understanding, with little depth or breadth and of limited scope. There's nothing wrong with this per se. I would say it's important, however, for the limitations of such understanding to be recognised and acknowledged by the person putting it to use.
