Is it fair to call it personal opinion if it's also the ecologist consensus viewpoint?
- RHSeeger 4y agoOf course. To some people, that viewpoint is what defines it as good. For others, it's beauty. For others, it's pure diversity. For others, it's minimizing the work involved. The choice of what is considered "good" here is a very personal thing.
- djtriptych 4y agoStill, it's dismissive to place it into a class of personal opinion, when the colloquial understanding, especially here, is that there is no expectation of evidence behind it. I think a fairer term here is 'argument'.
- wcarron 4y agoThe other comment covered my thoughts mostly. Ecology is important. But I can't eat Blackfoot daisy. Not all gardens are there for ecosystem health. Some are for utilitarian purposes.
