Isn't this the most common layman's opinion?

It's also the opinion of people who don't make a habit of drinking the special koolaid.

It's the most common internet opinion, but IRL people use it without a second thought, and will get annoyed if you call them out on it.

EDIT: I don't think this post was talking about laymen to begin with.
