  • Second rate

    It may just be that these people hold second rate university titles but they have no idea what they are talking about.

  • Not enough expertise...

    Love the idea and the twiv network, but the hosts are often saying incorrect things and speculating about neuromolecular processes without the proper expertise. The latest episode was a good example.
