There&#x27;s nothing ad hominem in pointing out that your argument is based on ignorance because you lack specific knowledge of this area of expertise. Sorry, but pretending you are on some equal footing with people much more experience in a particular industry is the only logical fallacy here - False Balance.<p>If I argued - as a non-doctor - that anyone should be able provide medical advice to people without being an MD, or that Joe Shmo should be able to provide legal advice without being admitted to the Bar, you&#x27;d rightly call that attitude ignorant and naive. The same holds true with your argument. It simply comes from a place too far removed from the topic at hand to be considered even remotely viable.<p>Don&#x27;t take it as an attack on you, it isn&#x27;t. Do take it to mean that you are clearly out of your element, and that with a little bit of research on your part, you&#x27;ll understand why this is so.
