Just because someone has a personal opinion on a single subject doesnt mean they think everyone should have that projected on to them about every topic possible, no one mentioned having a problem with serious debates/discussion :/

Because if the above opinion applies to "viruses" then it should equally apply to all topics, unless you're taking the completely illogical stance that it's fine to debate some topics you don't have expert knowledge of, but not others.

In terms of it being a personal stance - which I could have accepted - "because I don't really know what I'm talking about" is a personal reflection, but it ceases to be one and becomes a broad statement with clear implications when "none of us do" is added to the end.

"There's plenty of armchair experts" is also not a personal reflection .
