One of my greatest goals in life is to accumulate enough knowledge on any particular subject to be able to engage in this kind of behavior. Alas, at the moment I possess only cursory knowledge of copious topics.
I could drop that on the 2004-2008 Subaru Forester XT and STI, specifically turning the prior into the latter, in the ~2010- 2014 era, maybe Yeti bikes 2000-2005 (I arguably could have been a demo monkey). Since then? Kids destroy your ability to focus that kind of energy into a specific topic.

The moment you accumulate enough knowledge to engage in such foolishness you'll also have realized that you know preciously little as there is always so much more to master and will leave the blabbering to the ignorant. ;)

I owned almost every yeti in that era.

Now I can barely keep my bike working.

I had a boss who measured and trusted people based on their confidence levels. The results were hilarious.

Said boss was an engineer and should have been able to make their own technical decisions but preferred to just listen to people who told her exactly what she wanted to hear with great confidence. And then when things went from power point presentations to actual garbage results and the shit hit the fan I got to step in and fix all the problems I was trying to avoid all along but was ignored because usually doing the things the right wasn't the easy way.
