People who are willing to look into an issue and bring up opinions or
suggestions aren't required to become experts before they speak up.
For example, if I'd allow myself such an attitude, I'd probably
refuse to speak with anyone about the display engine or the bidi code,
with the sole exception of Gerd.

We as experts in some Emacs areas are required to suppress our
frustration in such cases and patiently explain why others are wrong.
the only justified exception is when the opponent behaves extremely
rudely.  Which was not the case here.
