The danger with this kind of opinion is that you start out doing some healthy critical thinking, and research. You form an opinion, based on good intentions. Then you spend all your time on explaining your conclusion to others. At that time, people who have the same opinion flock to you, and you don't have time to do more research.

This is the problem with experts and politicians. You can make money on either position, but once you have started stating your opinion, it's unlikely you'll do active research to disprove your opinion, as many have already concluded [1].

I'm happy that Simon only sees this as a hobby.
