Why do people think they can judge the merit of an academic discipline just by taking the intro course?

| Why do people think they know the content and academic merit of a subject just by taking the survey course. For instance they'll take psych 101 or sociology 101 and then declare those subjects are easy, worthless, superficial etc. |

Sometimes those who make snap judgments the quickest are not all that intelligent.
And many people have the attention span of a gnat. |

| This is often a "flex move" by STEM-lords. i.e. 'I took sociology 101, and I got an A just by spouting back woke propaganda like capitalism is evil and America is racist." |

| I don't know about judging the merit. I was judging whether I liked it or not, and you can tell that from one class. I knew I wasn't going to take more ECON. But it's not that I thought Econ has no merit. |
