> Was Chomsky ever an expert? Maybe, I wouldn't know because I haven't read what he built his legacy upon.

My entire life anything I hear from him has been misinformed and anything I hear about him is "Chomsky disproven". I have to imagine whatever he was known for happened before I was born - which I've never been exposed to. Granted I've never sought it out either.

To me he feels like an academic Kardashian: Famous for being famous, and it's not really clear how it started.
