Let us not forget Judges 8:33:
"And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god."

Do I need a master's degree in linguistics to learn a language?
Not in the least, of course; but someone with something to sell will naturally want to convince you that you need it.
