No, it doesn't mean we're not qualified to hold an opinion, but it also doesn't mean that just being able to drive a car is sufficient enough to be paid to tell everyone else how good or bad a car it is and not only that, but have millions of people consider you an expert on the subject because you drove around on an oval track with a helmet on and a checklist by your side.
Flawed and pretentious? Are you criticizing me?
