How Stack Exchange gurus function

I dare you if you are not coward: go on any of Stack Exchange boards, ask a question that requires expert knowledge in a specific field, and wait for answers. Here is what you are likely going to see: comments to the effect that

1. you could have found the answer yourself had you tried and
2. there is nothing members can do for you since you are not trying

Usually you are going to see such replies from members who have 10s of 1000s of reputation. They are considered "experienced members" by the invisible but omnipotent "community". But scratch them and what are you going to see? Know-it-all incompetent types who have no life and spend all of their time online, running up their post count.

In the real world, what do you consider those who barge into conversations in which they are incompetent and cannot contribute anything of value? You call them idiots. On Stack Exchange idiots are the ruling power.

Congratulations, founders! You've managed to further dumb down our already decadent world.
