Well, if the blogpost that taught you how to fix your car has an elementary mistake that the author refuses to acknowledge and gets super defensive about, it's sure time to take a step back. Does it mean all blogs are bad? Of course not. But if you have the option of listening to a world-renowned mechanic instead, for free, I'd say you should.

With the note that "world-renowned" has almost nothing to do with "education from established institutions" I feel like we've made progress here, so I'll leave it at that.
