That sounds a lot like the idea from Peter Huth’s Mail-Terror-Blocker PRO, a theater drama studied guy that happened to become an _internet expert_ by accident here in Germany back in the 2000s. Unfortunately, his program failed in the most hilarious ways and quickly became a joke in the usenet groups back in the day.

I don't know the guy, but what's the problem with somebody being theater drama studied?

Like somebody can't be an expert at something without having gone through formal education for it?

Nice framing. However, I was rather thinking about the _drama_ he created back then with his software due to a logical error. To me it had some resemblance of a nice play at the time.
