Default Should I be scared -- C172 over Gross

LOL! Yet, you can't differentiate between the private pilots, commercial
pilots, CFIs and ATP.


Yes, I can, since their qualifications are a matter of public record.
Additionally, the more experience they have, the more likely they are to know
something about the topic, unless they are part of that accident-prone
minority that has just been lucky so far.

You are not authoritative on who is qualified. The difference between
you is that they can and have flown planes.


It's easy enough to check what they say, and when they are wrong, it does not
inspire confidence in their qualifications.

I participate in a lot of aviation discussions outside this newsgroup, but
this venue probably has the highest percentage of unqualified, blowhard
wannabes.
