This one I'll give you. I am pretty tech illiterate.

mean, seriously, if you guys aren't going to actually do your homework and understand bitcoin, why participate in these threads and ask stupid questions that I've answered a hundred times already?
If you truly aren't interested in the technical details of it, then you aren't fit to debate them.
Being a Financial Advisor, business owner, adjunct econ and finance professor, I think I'm at least mildly qualified to debate the topic. Don't you think?

I think you're qualified to debate the economic aspects of it, but not the technical side of it.
And hey, I'm just a bumbling tech nerd, so I may not be qualified to discuss the economic aspects but then again I may be qualified enough after all.
The difference between the two is that the tech side is a hard science, based on coded algorithms that are verifiable, unchanging, and predictable. Economics, on the other hard, is a shite science full of politics and opinion.
