If that is indeed the case your initial use of "inexpert" is odd. It seemed to be meant to describe those of opposing views. Sort of a derogatory jab if you will. Is that what you meant?
You've since made posts which seem to hedge on your own perceived expertness. So are you "inexpert" on the related discussion? If so did you inadvertently take a crack at yourself?
Maybe my perception of your use of "inexpert" is fouled up.
Is this the post you considered the right answer the "first time"?

You are incorrect.
a) Definition of an expert is "a person with a high degree of skill in or knowledge of a certain subject."
b) There are degrees of expertise, there's also diversity in expertise in particular field or subject matter.
c) You can be an expert and yet be an inexpert next to someone with more expertise.
In conclusion "it's easy to trap the inexpert." This is not about opposing views but merely knowing what you're talking about before entering the public square.
My first answer was perfectly reasonable answer to the question "insinuating that you are the expert right?"
