That's the MOST important thing you do! Ain't no one better here!

I'm a bit over the expert business.
One of the people here, who had/has never been to Australia, decided to correct me on some aspect of Australiana in which I am quite well versed. She was manifestly wrong, but shouted louder, so I was amazed at her gaul or chutzpah, if not her intelligence, and let her be.
It was really a case of "if you can't be right, be wrong at the top of your voice!"
It's no wonder people are ill-informed.
