      That’s not what “uninformed” means. A more appropriate term would maybe be “uninformative”.

        You don’t know what the writers did or didn’t know. To me they seem uninformed about the topic considering what they omitted. You don’t sound cool for being pedantic.

          By that logic assuming they’re uninformed based on what they didn’t say is just as silly as saying that they are informed based on it. What they did say wasn’t wrong, so there’s no reason to automatically assume they don’t know any more than what they included for general audiences.

            Nonsensical comment lol if I tell you how to make a grilled cheese and I leave out the part where you have to put butter in the pan, people are going to wonder if I actually know how to make a grilled cheese.

              Bruh, this isn’t an instructional video it’s an informative one, there’s a difference. You’re not giving me a recipe in your bizarre metaphor, you’re just generally describing what a grilled cheese is and how it tastes or why people eat it. You’re not teaching people how to recreate a grilled cheese perfectly. If you left out the part where you put butter in the pan I would just assume you left out the part where you put butter in the pan, because your audience isn’t there for a recipe and doesn’t give a shit about every possible minute detail.
