I can't think of a single person who's opinion I would take as "gospel." Just sort of vague outlines that 99% doesnt actually apply to the way I think about it.

I can't think of a single person who's opinion I would take as "gospel." Just sort of vague outlines that 99% doesnt actually apply to the way I think about it. If there are any opinions that hold weight, it would be down to the creative technical aspects about technique of things I haven't 100% mastered yet in all areas (artists better than me explaining tonal value principals, programmers better than me explaining design patterns, etc). Either way, this isn't even the point of what I wrote. I have no problems with opinions. My point is that headlines written like "We dont need _______" is idiotic, because it's an opinion stating what is best for others while excluding/ignoring all variables which would change that outcome the opinion is based on. How about just writing what it's about? I explain more what I meant in my other comment.
