Facts often do get in the way of opinion.

In clinic we were often called to have an OPINION, but it did not count without FACTUAL evidence...Same here..anyone can believe what they want to (much like politics) but without evidence to back it up, it rings fairly hollow.

It also is a hoot coming from these database grandstanders who are never acutally part of the business, yet draw wild conclusions from that "at arms length" position far from the real business at hand.

I liken it to a great example from a movie about Dizzy Dean. A father has taken his son to a ball game and wonders what the pitcher and catcher are saying when the two come together near the mound. WITHOUT first hand evidence, the father takes the obvious approach and tells his son "They are probably talking about how to pitch this hitter, or which out to try and get if it is a gound ball." LOGICAL from a distance, but then the scence repeats with the voices of the two actually involved. Dean: "Still go that shot gun you wanted to sell?" Catcher: "yes, but why do you need to know now?" Dean: "One of the outfielders is going to ask you about it in the clubhouse and I wanted to beat him to it."

One never knows SECOND hand what happens FIRST HAND even with all these touted databases and second hand information.
