I like the Morris dance analogy.
And just to be clear, I made my original comment tongue in cheek.
I've enjoyed the skull drudgery quite a bit around here over the years. And yes, some of the more likely to be "butt hurt" crew are easily, and often laughably, predictable.
The "it'll work this time for sure", "that's impossible Inspector Holmes" and "my master/grad school professor said" set are always entertaining whether it is discussing why keeping your hands down in a fight is a good idea (hint it isn't ) , defining the various forms of fah jing, how lifting weights gives you the wrong kind of muscles or failed political systems.
I always hear Men Without Hats "Safety Dance" playing in the back of my mind when the usual suspects chime in.
Having been a multiple tour political advisor to general officers you develop a thick skin or get the hell out of career field. You also get very used to underqualified, and over educated, people trying to argue with the cold hard light of experience on your end regarding why something is a catastrophically bad idea.
That said, some people with actual experience in the odd, unusual and outright interesting do chime in occasionally. It's why I keep coming back.
