I would say caution is advised when one crosses the path of someone that knows everything....

Fascinating insights, dearest 'pipe! You seem to be pointing to the "gnostic types." Their theory generally propounds: The knowledge of all truth is possible for individual human beings, provided such individuals are willing to sign up for the course in [Hermetic] "enlightenment," given by the eminent Professor So-and-so with his colleagues, all of which as if emanating from a central source that has not yet been accounted for let alone identified.

Usually such cons are presented in the form of bona-fide public education, and taxpayer money usually pays for them.

These days such considerations seem to be rarely entertained or engaged by our (supposedly) highly well-educated, intelligent public. At least not by the ones who are presently "bloviating" on the public airwaves, etc. -- on talk radio, network and cable TV, the MSM of print journalism, the blogosphere; and all together, in all their multifarious, mutual permutations. [And these days, AFAIC, that would definitely include Bill O'Reilly.]

And that's just the long way of saying: I completely agree with you, dearest brother in Christ!
