Since you're a theoretical physicist (which you didn't originally sound like), and I'm not, that would presumably mean you know a lot more about the subject than I do.
Further, my past experience is that physicists tend to frequently misunderstand physics that is outside of their own narrow speciality, so since you're more interested in being insulting than in educating, I can assume nothing about your supposed superior understanding. Seems like just ego.
Well, educating random people on the internet in physics is not my job.
I was just pointing out to a piece of misinformation before someone takes it to be true. And again, it wasn't meant to be an insult, I literally meant it and it is true --you literally didn't know what you were talking about. I only meant to state a fact. There's no need to make this something personal. For what it's worth, I'm sorry if it offended you.
In my view, not knowing things is not something bad. You can always learn things. But spreading misinformation about something you don't know (and insisting on it) is not.

???
Are you talking about physicists (faculty), or students?
Physics is a lot more connected than you think, and I haven't yet met a single physicists who doesn't know undergrad-level classical mechanics.
Edit: After reading your reply, I take that "sorry" back. For me, you're not someone worth spending even single second for. You can take this as an insult if you think otherwise.
On the one hand you say educating is not your job, on the other hand you are very concerned about misinformation -- which is a matter of education.
You thus contradict yourself for purely rhetorical reasons.
Worse yet, saying "you are wrong" is not correcting misinformation for the sake of onlookers. You need to tell them why -- which you failed to do.
I don't think you interpret English very well, and certainly you don't explain well, so it's impossible to see whether this is an area of physics you actually know or not.
So far, I am doubting that you understand this area well enough to correct others. All I see so far are two beside-the-point nitpicks.
Explain physics or stop kvetching. If it's not your job to explain, then it's unhelpful to say "you're wrong but it's not my job to explain!" Fish or cut bait.
