[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 9033822, member: 6785785"] So you’re not generalizing… so which posters are you talking about? I’m reasonably certain that anyone who it may be is familiar with traditional RPGs. My take on this is that there’s a group of people who have been doing something for so long that they’re experts at that thing. However, that thing turns out to be more narrow than they thought. But it’s hard to accept that they’re experience is not as broad as they thought. They’ve learned that they’re not experts on Science, but only Biology… and they don’t know much about Physics or Chemistry at all. So when introduced to the broader field, their knowledge is revealed to be much more focused than previously thought. However, they don’t adjust their approach to the conversation. Instead, they try to adjust the broader field to fit into their knowledge. Then when this is pointed out to them, they don’t like it, and try and label it in such a way as to lay blame elsewhere.
