Oh, silly me relying on defined terms and stuff.

Yes. Everyone else knows my job better than me. Hey, I have a PC at home, how about I tell you how to program that mainframe? or, since I have plumbing in my house, let me tell you the engineering flaws in that $50K Stormwater Managment Pool that you designed for the multimillion dollar road widening project?

Just a little respect for each other's professionalism would be nice.

I think everyone has to deal with this sort of thing one way or the other, and it's definitely frustrating. I love it when some bum sitting at home sucking off the WC system thinks he knows how my job works, or better yet knows WC law better than I do.
