Ernie's got a point here. If you missed the point, or don't understand
something, it is the other person who is ignorant (not), and the first
thing you should do is insult them.
I'm afraid Ernie should stick to grading papers, and let those who are
skilled in the current state of the art and science insult each other.
A good experiment is practicing coming up with an intelligent question.
