The sentence you quote is one I composed myself, or at least I don't recall any specific antecedent. I'm sure I've seen others express the same or similar thoughts, though, so I can't entirely rule out some level of subconscious borrowing. It wouldn't be the first time that a phrase or idea that I sincerely thought was my own turned out to be derived from something I had read and then (almost) forgotten. It does seem odd that someone should be searching for something so specific, doesn't it? Thanks, AP.

Someone got to my post on the Airborne cold and flu remedy/scam by typing in a sentence <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/terrasig/2008/03/233_million_airborne_false_adv.php#comment-773781" rel="nofollow">you wrote in the comments</a>: "Sadly, we live in a society where expertise is equated with elitism and ignorance is equated with authenticity." Is that quote entirely yours or did you adopt it from elsewhere? This morning, a referral tweet and my post are the #1 and #3 search returns. Oh, and congratulations on reclaiming "Jeff Darcy."
