@harmonicarichard@techhub.social I am trying to gauge the general perspective on something, in as unbiased a way as possible given the constraints, and therefore I'm not stating the reason for asking.

What I *can* say however, is that the reason certainly isn't "soliciting gatekeep-y opinions about people's relative worth for knowing or not knowing some highly specific piece of information that the commenter happens to know".

You didn't *need* to make a comment talking down on other people. It does not contribute anything to the question being asked here.
