Not really actually - You see, when someone professes to know something 
particular about a specific matter, issue or methodology their opinions are 
often only credited when they are able to demonstrate good reasonable debate 
about all the bread and butter techniques, utilities or programs enabling 
them to be best positioned to air that considered notional idea you would 
have other believe is a well established and credible opinion... clearly it 
is not.

In one fell swoop the man hath discredited you.

You appear blindsided.
