They're people who actually find out what they're talking about by 
reading the material instead of just spouting off based on hearsay 
and preconceived notions.  Nice try, but no cigar.  I couldn't care 
less if someone agrees with me or not, but I like for them to at 
least have a clue what they are discussing instead of just babbling 
"I already know all I need to know so I don't need to read it."  I do 
not consider such an approach to be scholarship, nor do I think I 
need to.
