People on lemmy are smart, they will get it. Right?

Some people on lemmy are smart, likely a higher ratio than many other sites, but there's still a ridiculous surplus of fools

And all those smart people still have incredibly stupid opinions outside their areas of expertise. Everyone is a moron in the wrong context.

I'd posit a well rounded education doesn't necessarily agree with that. You don't need a professional education in a topic to be able to provide a decent opinion, it's just that many people opt not to work on their own educations and prefer to be spoon fed materials, and it's this behaviour that produces morons in almost every context, rather than individuals that have problematic views in a few topics.
