Many people seem to have opinions on everything or want to put their two cents in, regardless of whether they know anything about the topic or not. It seems to me that the majority of people are low information, or at least venture outside their very narrow area of 'expertise'. These people need to learn how to shut the fuck up as they contribute nothing to conversation. It is a legitimate problem, especially in the era of social media.

I believe what you encountered was likely one of these but has learned to cover it up with fake 'wisdom' in the form of old maxims. This guy didn't have anything of value to say so instead chose to attempt to flex on your intellect by repeating what was done to him. Consider his motivation for doing it. He has likely been made to feel stupid or ignorant in the past and is coping with his ego issues by doing the same to others. He should have learned to be informed or at least engage his brain before he speaks, but that requires too much effort. This is easier and makes him feel like a big brain.
