No, welcome to the world of retards. The above is what you get when you combine people who don't know what they are doing, being supported and backed up by people who don't know what they are doing, proving that they don't know what they are doing.
How many times on this forum and even in this section has some dude who has no clue come in and asked- "what ______ do I need for LR deer/elk/hunting", and all you see is a bunch of clueless boobs suggesting this or that cartridge or piece of equipment. Never asking experience level of the poster, never guiding them into a course or class that will teach them, never giving any thought to learning what they are trying to do. Most of the time it's because those making suggestions have zero clue what they're doing themselves.
Wanna bet how many dudes didn't speak up about any of the above when the guys in the OP's story were all gearing up for "LR hunting"...?
Johnny, mom lied to you. Not everyone's opinion is worth something.
