Not a great line of thought in general, sometimes the people who aren't doing the thing are the only ones worth listening to.
"You aren't repeatedly slamming your head against the wall. Why would anyone listen to the opinion of a non-wall-head-slammer about the merits of wall-head-slamming?"
I don’t really fully trust people’s opinions unless they have first-hand experience. So I would trust someone who has tried the thing and found it to be bad idea, much more than someone who hasn’t tried it and is merely repeating common tropes or talking points.
