If I'm being generous the point seemed to be "don't blindly trust what you hear from anyone, even if they have credentials. Make an effort to understand."

I can understand that point to a degree, as we saw there were plenty of Dr.Oz types have have a doctorate in... something... and people choose to believe them because they say the things you want to hear like "screw the Gates tracking vaccine, ivermectin is proven to work! (Just hope they don't ask what my doctorate is in, it's children's literature.)"

But yeah, their delivery has a lot to be desired lol
