I haven't belittled anybody's contribution to anything.

Ham Radio is a technical pursuit.

CB Radio is a hobby.

CBers and CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams contribute
to the hobby of CB and not to the technical pursuit that is Ham Radio.

Those who are not technically motivated nor technically qualified
are unsuitable as Ham Radio licensees.

Perhaps it is that you are an unwitting CBer-Masquerading-
As-A-Radio-Ham who is annoyed at being "outed" and which
annoyance results in you revealing the innermost workings
of your psyche as below?
It is a very exciting and inspiring thing to continue to
educate yourself in all matters of technology - try it and
you'll find that there is more to Ham Radio than your
own CBisation of it!

If you're trying to "preserve Ham Radio as a technical pursuit,"
you won't do it by belittling other's contributions to the hobby.
