The point was making the point PG wast trying to make: That you can the social "thing". That you can be one of the guys for whom things matter, who doesn't take pride to be completely out, who's not proud of not understanding a topic, and yet, have a decent social life.

And it wasn't a lot of meaningless bullshit about how awesome I was, I said that I was who I was because I was lucky to hang around people from whom I learned how to navigate in society, but here I am, getting vitriol for sharing something, someone who might not have had this chance might find useful.
