Thalidomide, the Y2K bug and the Challenger disaster came to mind when I read the question. There’s nothing to say the person who found the flaw isn’t an expert, themselves.
The person was talking about how certain people annoy them, he may have implied it was you but if you don’t think description matches say so and move on.
But if we’re talking about being a good digital neighbor, you should try and see how your implication is annoying or offensive. There are issues with credentialism but it is not just some arbitrary aristocracy, people put in a lot of work to get there credentials and take pride in them. If you start saying all these experts don’t know what they’re talking about and I found out something they couldn’t is dismissive of all the work those experts put into learning about there field. Like don’t you think doctors get annoyed by all the homeopaths or anti vaxers who dismiss all there work because theyve done there own research?

some fields are obviously shit though, like podiatry.
modern shoes are why modern feet have so many problems, simple as
flat feet? that happens because of arch support. the foot arch forms from a series of muscles, muscles require use or they atrophy, they atrophy and your arch collapses.
the podiatry industry as a whole though…well, they make most of their $ now off selling expensive shoes and inserts…
