Philosophy also provides a great opportunity for intellectual elitism, like when someone assumes that superior education has anything to do with the ability to reason effectively from a philosophical standpoint, as if credentials matter in a discussions about things unknowable. Usually, these folk make pretty blatant mistakes in characterizing their positions, like making bold statements about reason and logic and in doing so unwittingly giving away the fact that they don't really know much about what reason and logic actually are.
