It's just more of the " I know better than you even though I know nothing " that has made for some laughs but is tiresome.

I understand. It took me a long time to realize why it annoyed serious horseplayers when I pestered them with my know-it-all attitude as a little kid. Eagerness to learn is great. Lecturing those that know significantly more than you about even the things they claim to know little about is boorish and tiresome.

One of the reasons this is the world's greatest game is that there is so much to learn that we easily get confused when as novices we think we know a lot, and we do, but it is still just the tip of the iceberg.
