Whom would rate as the weakest person in special forces? Answer -- It does not matter as they are probably still a hard bastard. Given a person can not be expected to know everything any more it becomes a matter of applicability of your knowledge set in a given situation (though some of the more interesting stuff comes from people that attempt to merge two or more areas**) and how well you can do debate, reason for things, counter the points of others and do other such things. Much like basic soldering I had not considered it a hard thing* but like the days of the early wii modchips apparently I was wrong.
*something happens or a hypothetical is posed, a person responds providing reasons*** why they might consider it good, bad, to have a point of failure and others respond either furthering the reasons or providing examples of why they might be wrong. This is repeated many times and a consensus of sorts is reached, this need not be a universal agreement on the nature of things and may be a "well I guess we now have to wait and see" type affair. There may be a difference in the definition of terms which should be corrected as part of that (see also the scientific definition of theory thing) and part of the universal agreement being impossible is others may well have different philosophies and debating that becomes counterproductive or possibly absurd... but the Quran says... but the law says...
***I have a rather long memory, have been around a while and spend pretty much all my days adding to it, see also "wasted youth". I appreciate not everybody is in the same situation but a grounding in most areas of stuff is not hard to get (you are on the internet -- you can probably watch a video series on it) and if you have made it to the point where you are adding something to the internet it is probably best if you have something like that, a working knowledge of the field you are debating or at least the ability to see why the parallel you are drawing might be applicable.
Of course I am all about being Devil's advocate and/or picking holes in any logic at any point in time, doubly so if it flows against the majority in a given situation. My absolute favourite is when people draw lines in the sand for rather broad fields (drugs are bad).
Humour type responses are also valid in a lot of cases.
One thing I do like to see is news influencing news. Personally I am somewhat hoping the Wii U will fail so I can hear whining for years to come of "It only failed because people did not believe in it". See also "we are not in a recession".
