quite possibly.  strangers off the street sometimes demonstrate superior 
insight than credentialed 'experts'.  not typically, of course, but 
sometimes.

an essential point is how much work i want to do to assess the 
credibility of the comments from either source.

folks who rely on their credentials for credibility tend to lose it with 
me.  anyone who makes a point by clearly providing a solid basis for it 
tends to gain it.

but i agree that clarity about the purpose of this thread would be 
helpful...
