Don't sell yourself short! If you've got a brain, you have the potential for insight :)

(For what it's worth, I agree that it doesn't make sense to participate in a discussion like this without at least having done some background reading)

I think a really common danger here us people think they have more insight than they actually have. It's easy to take some data and draw conclusions from it without realizing the limitations of the data or the full scope of the complexity we're dealing with.
