> Is it necessary to only comment after a full reading and understanding of the base document that someone is summarizing? In my opinion, yes. I don't know how to say it politely so I apologize for the abrasiveness: I think that when someone comments on something with little to no knowledge of the subject they are talking out of their ass. I try to avoid doing this because it seems like a waste of time for everyone involved and is therefore rude to other members of the community who want to engage in an intelligent discussion. > I don't think this is cherry picking and pulling things out of context either. How would you know? Without reading the document you have no idea what the context is.
