It is a better investment to read about those things for a bit in my experience. It should not be scary or niche to take some time and read a textbook or a high quality paper.
There is no replacement for reading textbooks or high quality papers.
If you are saying that you didn't do this kind of thing anyway and now you can do it. Then I would question the definition of the action you are doing because it is not the same in my opinion.
This is just "classic" (but avoidable) miscommunication. I don't even disagree with you on your point! I'm only saying you are not reading my point in the context it was offered.
For more background, please read Rapoport's Rules : https://themindcollection.com/rapoports-rules/
> Rapoport’s Rules, also known as Dennett’s Rules, is a list of four guidelines that detail how to interpret arguments charitably and criticise constructively. The concept was coined by philosopher Daniel C. Dennett in his book Intuition Pumps. Dennett acknowledged our proclivity to misinterpret and attack a counterpart’s argument instead of engaging meaningfully with what was actually said.
