"yah", your misguided confidence is kind of endearing - and sure, sometimes it is better to feel good about oneself no matter how unfounded than to be paralyzed by full awareness of one's total inadequacy.
But seriously, my man, do you also try to prove to your math professors that 2 + 2 = 5 (hint: division by zero is a no-no), or attempt to bully your biology profs into accepting creationism as evolution's equal if not superior?
Listen. There's a time for bluster and a time to admit you're in over your head. And this is a case where you and, as is evident in this thread, many of your running brethren are not, in fact, candidates for teaching positions or even classwork at FIT but rather desperately in need of a remedial seminar in How Not To Look Like A Total Douche On Your Run.
How not to look like a total douche (or indeed, how to transcend even partial douchedom) in life outside running is well beyond the scope of this thread, or the grasp of many of its readers. Fortunately, many on this board can simply head upstairs in the morning and get help in that department from your mothers. But clearly mom's less savvy when it comes to running garb, hence this thread. Hope you also noticed that every running woman who has chimed in agrees: half tights = a gruesome offense.
