Why not?
Think your aim may be a wee bit off.
Only when they're trying to hide their own mistakes. Or when they misidentify you as something entirely different. Or if they want something you've got.
No, but one fact that damn near everyone remains ignorant of is how little anyone actually knows about subjects they've not personally been involved in.
A close second is how little anyone actually knows about things they HAVE been directly involved in.
In case you want an example of how completely unhinged people can become when they subscribe to insane theories about how people work:

I guess to expand upon that, far too many credentialed scientists actually thought that a damn video game could model real world behaviour, just because a variable was named "disease".
Grammar mistakes aside, there's a reason that I place so much emphasis on the importance of actually speaking with people face to face.
You wouldn't believe how much time, money and lives have been wasted because idiots keep trying to divine the secrets of reality without ever actually engaging directly with reality.
The pattern of contrarian behaviour is plainly obvious. Your posts are actually a perfect example of how distorted someone's perception can become due to the lack of pertinent information available through online communication.
People copy each other much more than most understand. A machine which is built upon copying can presumably arrive at the same conclusions through similar methods. The problem with AI being a lack of ability to differentiate between fact and fantasy.
The most important missing link is that actual intelligence is a natural product derived from real world processes, and therefore is tailor made to suit real world situations. Good luck getting a bunch of elitist jerks who live in fully artificial environments to ever actually admit that's a flaw.
The institutions their lives are built upon are not useless, but rather they're actually critically important to maintaining a functional society of any size beyond the local tribe. We have simply (at every level of society) forgotten how the proper function of the system should work, and so those tasked with the enforcement of the system are just falling back on more and more forceful methods.
By the "institutions their lives are built upon" I'm talking about the fact that it's important to have a mediator to facilitate interactions between disparate groups. Such an institution can very easily be a great deal smaller/simpler than what we currently have, as it was in nomadic societies like Tartaria, where they seldom actually gathered, but did have a "great king" to facilitate such when necessary.
This has gone off kilter as the game of power played by those who covet such authority demands ever greater powers, and as it become more demanding, bloated and arcane, fewer people understand what's actually happening and more people are sucked into it's bowels.
I'd posit that's either the first or second civilization, not the fourth.
Really I just think the eye of the Sahara is a better theory for Atlantis.
