Sometimes I wish that some people acknowledged the difference between "No one has worked on this really" and "I haven't read much about it." Especially when they try to lecture you on your own or someeone else's area of expertise and act as if it were an untouched wonderland when they're essentially columbusing. Le Sigh.

@historleans In my experience it's almost always the latter. Academics suffer from this a lot because reading old papers which come with words instead of oversimplified figures and smoothed vector plots of noisy data is a lost art.
