Jag,
Talking to Burns is like talking to a liberal, a waste of time. They know nothing, yet their hubris leads then to believe they know it all. No amount of info will convince them otherwise.
I used to admire him for turning his hobbie/passion into a living... the Leupold issue gave me pause, as I knew he wasn't being honest. The final straw, recently he defended the woke fools at Black rifle coffee. It was then I understood he was a snake oil salesman.
Interesting dynamic these shysters use, create a buzz via the internet, get a group of fanboys pimping your wares . convince people because it's expensive it is a better mousetrap, fanboys attach their ego and self worth to the overpriced item.... all very phony and shallow in my book.
It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect. Read the definition and it will explain everything.
