That reminds me of one of my favorite lines from a great TV show called Firefly.

As the protagonist of the series is about to square off in a fight against some punk in a bar who is blathering on about the moral superiority and righteousness of their government, he blurts out the memorable line:

"And you sound like you are suffering from an overabundance of education".

That's pretty much how I feel about so-called professionals who think they know best.
