Informed vs Understand

There is fundamental difference between feeling informed and truly understanding something.

We are as informed as ever. We can more or less parrot opinions we read, cite random facts, but when tasked with explaining what something is all about, why it is the case, what its connections are with other facts and theories, and putting it in context, we fall flat on our face. 

It's dangerous when we let these illusions of competence slip into our opinions, as we so often feel strongly about a position, but if pressed, we could hardly argue for it.
