I read recently (maybe here on the bbs) that English needs a verb for when I do this:
- Read a news article about a subject in which I am competent.
- Shake my head. There’s a whole lot of “Yes, but…” and “That’s not how it works…” from me.
- Move on to the next article, which involves a subject in which I am not competent.
- Be amazed at this stunning turn of events.
