And your having said all that does no change the fact that you rude choice of words is still rude, uncalled-for snobbishness.
But if it makes you feel superior, keep with it. I wouldn't want you to feel like one of us laymen.
As you pointed out, I am a layman in everything except Science, soldiering, teaching, and farming. Layman is not a pejorative, although it certainly is applicable to any nurse who wishes to be considered an expert in Science or Evolution by claiming to be a “medical professional”. But ill-educated seems incontrovertible. I notice nobody has tried to defend any of her numerous errors, they just say I am rude and snobbish for pointing them out.
How very un-postmodern of me! ;)
