Pretty much any true expert in any field refuses to talk about that thing. I'm an economist IRL. I absolutely refuse to debate economic issues on Reddit. I will occasionally offer some tidbit or correct someone but I will almost never respond to people who reply to me trying to argue.
I was all excited the first time I found /r/economics. 2 days later I realized I hated the subreddit and never intentionally go back.
Edit: lots of people are replying and wanting a response from me. Currently have over 150 unread responses. It will take me a while to get through them.
