    The very idea they have unique knowledge implies insider knowledge.

    That’s why I went on to say how real professionals can explain even highly detailed and complex things to those without intricate knowledge anyways.

    I’m trying to hold up a mirror so you can see that you do indeed seem to have some faith that politicians are competent, regardless of what knowledge you or they possess.

    That faith is misplaced. Always. My entire point is politicians are specifically vile “professionals” who specifically will not ever explain the actual reasons for things. You cannot ever treat them as if they know a damn thing.

    When they say, “it’s complicated.” it’s because they don’t want to explain it because they know you won’t like the answer.

    That’s it. Period. THEY are the professionals that should be able to explain a complex thing simply, are they not? Why do they constantly choose not to, and why do you constantly fail to see the problem with that?
