unfortunately, time has a pretty low correlation to knowledge. Not that you don't have a lot of knowledge, but rather that someone with a shorter time in the hobby can amass a great deal of knowledge themselves, especially considering the resources we have today compared to 20 years ago. It depends on the individual...
It seems like you don't read my words carefully. Experience does not correlate to knowledge necessarily. Experiences gives you just that. But not everybody learns from it. This isn't directed at any one person mind you, but rather a general blanket statement which I'm sure you can agree with. I made that very clear in my original post, yet you proceed to attempt to go after me regardless.
I argue my point until there is satisfactory evidence showing otherwise. My arguments on this topic seem to have been blown way out of proportion, as it doesn't necessarily relate to the specific option of burping vs not burping as much as backing up your claims/tips/experience whatever you want to call it with similar findings from reputable sources with some references. I will be sure to read through some of the authors that you have quoted, and go from there. I am not adverse to learning, but when entering an argument, bring forth these examples, and it would have closed things off a lot quicker.
And once again, you are now simply generalizing me. I never once made a claim that burping was bad or unnecessary. Not once. I made a statement that it SEEMED to be a myth because in the wild they do it naturally. I never once progressed my stance forward or dug my heels in that this was the case. I was simply rebutting, waiting for someone to provide information or references to the contrary and back up their statements.
