I don't understand most of what you wrote. For example, you mention "letters after ... name's)". I assuming you are referring to college degrees, like PhD. I don't have one, but Clark did. So are PhD's a good thing or bad? If Clark has credibility because she had one, why doesn't someone else who has one deserve the same respect? Or do they get respect from you only if they agree with what you believe to be true?
Anyway, I think you misunderstood me. I'm not saying I'm smarter than Hulda Clark . I'm saying that when it comes to understanding how electricity works, many 8th graders are.
