Does anybody else see the irony of this -- we come to this newsgroup to
share ideas and experiences and to learn things about wood turning and we
think that is a good thing. But if someone goes to the same resource
(internet) to learn about an operating system for a computer he gets put
down.

There is no "irony"... would you rather rely on advice on "wood turning"
from someone who has actual experience in "wood turning", or from someone
who admits that they have no experience with "wood turning"?

The Internet is a fine place to learn, but you need be able to separate the
wheat from the chaff, and the topic you take issue with is a perfect example
of that.

IOW, when taking advice on building chairs in an Internet forum, don't take
the advice for granted until you've seen the chairs they've built, or for
gospel until you've sat on one.
