Skepticism is definitely quite Lindy.. That said, having it as the main tool in the toolbox* is... Something to be skeptical about? *Bundled up with another in-your-face one like "personal experience", this also screams "political".. and thus hard to take seriously (particularly when those personal experiences are actually relevant) Freshness- whatever. You probably already know fresh is somewhat popular, but are you really sure you want to be right but not loved? Be respected by your (fr)enemies maybe? Not even that? (I'm certainly skeptical about "loved for being right" :)
