Knowing whether a lawyer believes a legal theory helps judge the merit of that theory, because civil law conventions are what lawyers (including judges) believe.

It's the internet, anyone can say they're a lawyer. If you take legal advice from an internet stranger because they say they're a lawyer, well i might have a bridge to sell you

    Fun fact: it's a crime to say you're a lawyer if you aren't one.

      Now you're pulling facts out of your non-lawyer pocket like it's actually (universally) true.

      Which jurisdiction? Under what circumstances? Who enforces these purported rules?

      I don't need to ask whether you're a lawyer, you're simply out of your depth I'm afraid.

      This is not an absolute fact.

      It depends entirely on the commenter's jurisdiction.

      It being a crime or not should have no bearing on whether or not you should take legal advice from a self-purported lawyer on a public forum.
