why do most people that spew out wrong answers claim to be a certified master mechanic that owns a shop and?

Question

have 900 years of experiance

Answer 1

Because stupid people tend to assume everybody else is as stupid as they are.

Answer 2

Because you can have lots of experience but still be ignorant in specific areas. The problem is, if you don't know you are ignorant in those areas you spew the wrong information but assume you are right.

Many of my answers are to tire related questions. That's what I know best and because its a safety issue and nobody else here has a clue, I feel obligated to answer these. Read this one for example and tell me I don't know my stuff;

That's why I stick to only what I know I know. My Best Answer rate speaks for itself - and if it was because I voted for myself I think my average would be a whole lot higher. It's because I'm selective and not the omni-answerer like some others.

Given the way in which this question was asked though, I'd be surprised to get a best answer this time :)
