If someone can talk a lot technical terms does not mean he/she is the smartest..
My two cents.
NO one was trying to incite someone's insecurities. Confident people with healthy self image don’t feel threatened by someone else’s use of technical terms. They understand that someone might have other intentions and not to make someone feel less smart. Those feelings are yours and no need to restore yourself by telling me “I am not smart”. This passive aggression is uncalled for.
The technical terms are necessary as there is no way I can say this can be done in Pakistan without actually stating that technical term. They ensure that the readers who will google them, will be able to verify it and information will be backed up. This adds credibility to the said arguments.
Furthermore there is a limit to what you can simplify in specialists disciplines. Ultimately you leave it to the reader to google and learn more about something.
I don’t need your certificate of smartness. So please stop trying to give me one by force. Stick to the topic instead of trying to define me.
I was simply trying to counter excessively poor image of Pakistan which does not reflects the reality. I had to highlight the good things.
Also when others discuss specific military hardware I don’t a get thing since I am not familiar with them. I don’t go around telling them they are trying to sound smart. I know that’s their area of knowledge and they know it so they state it without much bothering to explain to us. Same happen when people discuss economic policies. I often don’t get them but I trust they know what they are talking about so it must be true.
I often don’t get military operational terms and procedures such as described by Signalian or Foxtrot Alpha among others. I understand and he and Foxtrot Alpha and other know about such stuff so it must be true. I don’t get insecure and accuse them of trying to sound “smart” regarding military operational details and suggestion. I know they know their field and just sharing it.
Also when you spend lot of your life in a certain set of fields, you often forget that other might not get it or you are explaining it poorly. since it makes perfect sense to the writer. We are only humans.
Please don’t start another “I am so insecure” fight on the forum. For God sake discuss project AZM and not me.
I am smart enough to get all that done what my Allah wants to me get done. That’s enough for me. That’s what matters in the end. So let Allah define me.
