I really struggle to understand it: as you can tell from my post, it exasperates me quite efficiently.
The original studied behavior was that real experts in a field would consider themselves to have an 'average' knowledge of it, whereas someone who knew nothing, or less, would consider themselves 'above average' - reasons being, the true experts understand the depth of the field, and can realistically place themselves in relation to that.
And so the internet heralds a swathe of 'experts' - people who, with no justification or basis to pass judgement on subjects - do, and do so most viciously.
The whole 'photoshopped' thing is also amusing, in a sad way - especially when people post it under videos. Photoshopped? Perhaps you mean after effects, or combustion, or any other number of composition / post programs.
I've had bizarre arguments with people online where I've posted a photo that I took, and have been told by 'experts' that it was fake, and taken in totally another place.
Hey, just last week I was told by an 'expert' that a picture that a lovely fake popshot photo I'd made had been made by someone else.
Am I too young to bemoan the younger generation?
