I find it odd both that we trust random strangers on the Internet to be experts and that random people on the Internet work hard to appear to be experts even when they're not.
As far as we know, everyone else posting is pretty much in the same boat we're in. I doubt that we have many, say, Eric Singers posting here--or if they are, I doubt they're about to identify themselves from an account they regularly post with.
I certainly get your point......and to a degree it definitely holds some merit. But realistically, if we applied that logic across the forum, there'd be little point reading any replies. All we can do is throw a question out there and hope than any replies are at least offered in good faith, if not just from a "pro's" opinion, then at least from one who has some level of experience. Many times I've found that answers from working muso's are just as, if not more effective. If we all waited for the "Eric Singer's" of the world to reply, we wouldn't progress at all, and we'd certainly get nothing answered.
At least in this instance, we've heard from Bermuda, Joe and quite a few other 'seasoned' performers......their take on things is good enough for me, I have to say.
