And, no, I don't expect everyone to be an aerospace engineer or pilot. (I'm neither). I'm qualified neither to build nor to fly a plane, but that doesn't mean that I'm not qualified to read and to understand information provided by those who are. In the same manner, I can have a discussion about aerodynamics and automotive safety without being able to build a car.
